Any #woodworkers out there, especially British ones who know what I mean when i say "I have a *small* garage workshop"...

Anyone got recommendations on cheap but functional electric thicknessers and planers for stock preparation?

I am tired of flattening, squaring, and thicknessing by hand with a 100+yr old hand-plane. But I don't have much space, and I don't do enough woodwork to warrant spending very much.

More a question of if there's anything worth bothering with given those constraints?
