Thicknesser blade sharpening

[zeroseven]

Just bought a Record Power RD26 (made by Lurem). Mint condition, really exceptional, but the blades need sharpening. Have struggled to find replacements so seems sharpening is my only option. Can anyone please suggest a reliable company / individual I could send them to?

Many thanks.

Are they by any chance like these?

Maybe a call to record could confirm.

Although I would think you could source them cheaper from somewhere else like here

I dont know about quality

Its always worth having a spare pair.

North London Saws in Waltham Cross EN8 will sharpen them and probably sell you a spare pair so you can always have one set on the machine. http://www.nlstools.co.uk/ they also sharpen and sell band saw, table saw, router bits etc.

Just in case you don't have a handbook, Here's a link, There is a pic of the blade showing slots, but as you say very light on detail.
I would think a 'phone call to Record Power would be a good move to finding spare blades.
Or, When you remove the existing blades for sharpening, measure them up and make some enquiries for a spare pair, most important!

Southern Counties Saw Co are in High Wycombe on the Cressex industrial estate.

Thank you all. Record Power said they no longer stock parts which was very disappointing. I'll try the company in High Wycombe, they are fairly close by

I'll second southern counties saws...

Be careful as you have to drive past Axminster tools to get there...

Our very own Steve Maskery has a youtube video on making a jig to allow you to sharpen your blades at home. He has the blades held in the jig while some form of abrasive is run across the top of the blades but I see no reason why the jig could not be up-turned and the blades rubbed on the abrasive which has been stuck onto a flat surface.

Doug at cutting solutions could probably sort out some spares for you.

Metabo owned Lurem and you might find spares under their version. Emco also sold the machinery under their branding. 260mm is a common width for knives

Update..... Southern Counties Saws were very helpful and sharpened the old blades for £6. Brilliant job

Also found a company in Germany who sold me a new set of blades for £75 delivered to UK. Part number is 630467000

Metabo UK wanted £116.43 plus vat plus delivery.

Very useful as I also have a Former RD26 made by Lurem.

Do you speak German or were they happy to communicate in English? I'm keen to get a spare set of blades for my planer, so any more information/advice/contact details would be welcome.
