You know what my next question will be. How do you sharpen the blades? Do you send them off and if so could anybody make any recommendations or is it something that can be done yourself.
I do have diamond sharpening plates but no power driven grinding wheels etc.
Thanks for the help guys, it’s much appreciated and trevannion your right, for a small machine it is very heavy, unfortunately very loud to go with it!
Blade was easy to measure but the hole less so as I don’t have callipers but it seemed as though the hole was as a suggested 6.5mm across.
The other picture is of the plate the bolt goes through before it bolts into the fence and it shows the outline of the shoulder of the bolt as you’ve...
Thanks for the feedback gents. I’m off out to the shed in a minute to try and measure the size of the holes and the size of the blades.
I’ll report back on my findings.
Hi all
I have been given a 6 inch bench top planer which I think was made by SIP? It has no manual and no marking’s to confirm this. I know it looks pretty ropey but I can’t afford anything newer and it does have cast iron tables and fence. Unfortunately the 4 screws/bolts that attach the fence...
I'm looking at buying a new bandsaw and am thinking of either a sabre 450 or startrite 403, I am struggling to find any reviews on either of these machines and was hoping people might be able to enlighten me on either or both machines.
Cheers Rob
