planer knives - advice

[Anonymous]

Just wondered if anyone can recommend any where to get the above resharpened in the midlands (derby/stafford/stoke).
I'm also going to buy a second set, so apart from axminster does anyone know of anywhere i can buy them from (its for a scheppach planer/thicknesser 260 model - i think)
thanks
will

Hi Will, have you looked in the Yellow pages under saw sharpening?

Or you could look here

It can be a real pain getting these sharpened, it is always possible to post them but they do snap easily. This was the main reason I bought a Tormek it is the only way I know that you can grind you own blades and keep them balanced.

I recently got some disposable blades for my Kity from these people and have found them much better quality than the Kity item.

They list 260mm resharpenable blades, just check the thickness.

I got my last set from Halfords.

Fitted the SIP P/T so should be OK for other similar models.

If it's not too far away, I recommend East Midlands Saw and Tool Co, Long Eaton.

Jaymec - The Tool Shop in derby has a service where someone collects them and drops them off on Mondays. I can't remember the cost but it's only a few pounds.

Ring and speak to Mark and he'll explain. They open weekdays and Sat a.m. (I think) and are well worth a visit - a good selection of machines and good quality handtools.

I bought my HMS 260 and spare blades from them.

If it helps I work near them - I live in Repton so you're welcome to drop them off here sometime if it's more convenient and I'll drop them in for you.

regards, Colin
