I have a Scheppach HMS 3200ci and was able to order replacement blades from NMA who are the UK agency for Scheppach. They also sent me some marked up drawing with tips and advice for setting the beds and maintenance etc. Not the easiest to follow but a bit better than the instruction manual which is pretty much useless...

Marked up drawing I recieved from NMA...

Before i start playing with the planer can someone tell me what's the handle for in the photo ?

 

[Lazurus]

Turns the infeed rollers on / off when you are thicknessing.

i can't find any video's on the machine

 

[HornBen]

NMA Agencies - UK agents for Scheppach

Just Google NMA Agencies and you'll find them..

They appear to have blades that would suit..

I also have the enclosed instructions for my machine which I scraped together myself from various translations and files I found online. Feel free to use them if they are of any use!

Just had a quick look at my scheppach hms 260 planer thicknesser i don't seam to have the extraction round port although i haven't had a good look yet :roll: :roll: anyway a quick question do i need to remove the fence to get the table off ready for the thicknesser if so how
Alan

 

[RogerBoyle]

Yes you need to remove the fence
on the fence you will see two rods that go down into the rings on the fixing bracket as per the attached photo with the arrow
Grab the fence either side as close to the pins as possible and pull straight up. if you wiggle the fence it will jam lol .
Some times its easy but usually it a pain or at least on my machine it is lol

You then make sure the Thicknessing table is down and you can then lift over the front of the Machine and Push the little silver tab to allow it to sit on the table properly .
Adjust the table to the height that you want and start planing

Thank's again yes i just done as you said it came away great. But i have no dust extractor port as in the photo i have asked the person who i purchased it from to have a look if he got it laying around some where if not i will have to buy one what's the idea of the two clasps on the bottom piece of the machine ? can you put some sort of bin in there or something .Don't tell me there should also be a bin with the machine lol
Alan

 

[RogerBoyle]

The bottom part is the stand and the clasps hold the two parts together so the machine is at a comfortable height for working.

what are the table beds made from as i have seen planer knife setting jigs that are for cast iron only ? are the table bed on these nickel steel ? or would any jigs work

I have the HMT which is very similar and found this drawing online. It is originally from NMA Agencies I beleive.

 

[RogerBoyle]
