thanks for the quick reply as yet i have not opened the box, i reckon i would also proberly have to remove the blades as far as i can tell they are 260mm long and only 2 blades , i have kept it boxed as it is going to france and would like some spares, i will try to get some more info. ian

hello all hoping someone knows where to get some blades for a FOX F22-564-250 planer thicknesser. thanks ian

thanks again i edited my last post and some was cut off, one of my problems is power we are very limited and of course cost, but in an ideal world looking to cut upto about 6". thanks ian.

thanks i think i am going to pass this one and look for a second hand b/s with a bigger rip cut although space is not an issue (( its going in a barn in sw france) but power is and at550w that was good looking for about 6"... thanks ian

hello all .. Rexon bs10ka 550w induction and accs inc and stand/feet. just a quick question does anyone no the maximum width of blade this machine can take i would like to use it for ripping ,it seems the cheapest with a reasonable amount of power it is fitted with a 1/4"blade. it also has a...

hello all just ordered a fox 22564-250 hope its not a mistake , at £230 delivered fleebay tried to find a review but no luck this is for france hope to be using on sawn douglas fir and some oak. any comments welcome. ian good new year to all.

thanks OPJ to be honest i bought in hast i could live without tilt function and the blade was raised when i looked at it, just when home it can't make a 100mm , some replys have me worried now though , although i see most blades are rated 4800upward to 7000rpm ,also looked on ebay and a 10"...

just to add i feel that a larger motor has been fitted to a smaller blade i;e the current 12" that would explain as to why i cannot get near to 100mm cut , as the larger motor tops out on the underside of the bed, as i said i don't know for certain, this is not industrial grade stuff so 5hp...

thanks for reply all that is true, it is simply that the bench has a large cut out in the table and the limited manual implys a blade up to 16" can be accommodated,plus there are alternate motor mountings ,the motor is direct drive rather than via a pulley and belt and the raise feature is undo...

hello i have an al-ko with a 12" blade and 2.5 hp motor at 3000rpm, induction i think its very quite and smooth, there is p;enty of room to fit a larger blade ,what i need is to fit a 14" blade so as i can cut 4" timber as the 12" blade with max raise will only cut around 3.25" . will there be...

ok it may stop in that time , i will check and see. thanks ian

well solved it finally i phoned sip support they where hopeless and i was desperate to play so ...it was supplied with the wrong actuating bar it was about 1" to long ,so drilled hole back about 1" and now the guard lifts correctly. just to add it is the 110v model and is awesome i plugged it...

hello yes threre is an orange latch on the r/h side of the guard , i have found a spring that shoud be closing the guard but can't for some reason, its not broken but it will wind only the wrong way to my mind which is anticlockwise ,when infact i feel it should tension clockwise from my...

i am also wondering if there should be a spring in there and the bar is just a simple stabliser it is a pain as to use it you have to keep it up with one hand, not to good but the saw its self is really nice hope some has one of these on this site mine is the 110v the other model is 01502 thats...

hello paul i have no manual for it so it maybe incomplete , but i ran it up on my jenny also going over with me it is very smooth but the bar that would i guess pull up the guard doesnt i dont no if there is a spring that should be involved or which way around the draw bar goes as one end has...
