Sip 01454

[Paul1972]

Hi new here and newish to woodworking a welder by trade....
I have gotten myself a sip 01454 planer thicknesses for free
The problem with it is one of the chain sprockets that raises and lowers the thicknesses bed is broken and the others are pretty worn and missing teeth even the tensioner sprocket
I went to the sip site but all these parts are discontinued
But looking around several other machines look very similar does anyone know what models are interchangeable with the sip
Many thanks
Paul

There's a Metabo parts list here, looks like the same PT. Sprocket listed at £3.27 + VAT + postage so worth a try?

and where can i get a jig for setting the blades

I don't use a jig. One of the many youtube videos here about setting up and adjusting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO746cuRqV4

I seem to remember Record do a jig, their instruction manual can be downloaded here, I think it's the same PT - http://www.recordpower.co.uk/support/pa ... hicknesser

I find one of these is very useful for setting up planer blades, and other machines too.

Hey Paul1972. Just ran into the same problem with the same thicknesser. Did the RP sprockets work well for you?

Don't be fooled into thinking you need a jig to set up the blades, a bit of plate glass on top of the blades and tighten up progressively, bonus I have used this method for a few years and any timber I surface does not suffer from snipe.
