Morning All, I've recently acquired a Startrite SD310 P/T. I'm pretty pleased with it but have run into a couple of issues. When thicknessing I was getting quite significant snipe at the end of boards. After some investigation and research on here I am pretty sure it is due to the tension...

Hi Trevanion, thanks for idea and the link - much appreciated.

Hi Beech, many thanks for both suggestions. I definitely would not have come up with either of those myself!

Thanks Mike. Unfortuantely, as I've posted elsewhere there are plenty of suppliers in the UK (and Germany) who have websites claiming to hold these spares but none of them ever do when you enquire further and/or palce orders and pay your money. It seems to me (maybe I'm wrong) that they all...

Hi Oddbod, I've bitten the bullet and am buying a new (second hand) P/T. I therefore have an unused recovered outfeed roller which I could do you a deal on if you haven't already sent yours to AMC?! That also goes for any other HC333 spares for that matter as everything else works great apart...

Hi galleywood, many thanks for posting those. Unfortunately I've been down that line with those guys (and numerous others in the UK and Germany). Notwithstanding what it says on their websites re stock they do not carry the items I'm after. I guess they don't update the websites that often...

I have a second hand EB HC333 planer thicknesser. Due to catastrophic operator error two of the (plastic) gear wheels that ultimately drive the infeed and outfeed rollers are now missing large sections of teeth. I have tried repairing by reattaching the broken pieces with epoxy (Araldite) but...

So, there is some good news and some bad news. The good news is that following the helpful suggestions above I tracked down a firm in South Wales who recovered my outfeed roller with rubber. By the time I'd posted it to them, paid for recover and postage back it cost just under £100. I was...

Many thanks to everyone who has replied so far. There are some really helpful suggestions there. I am going to try the reconditioning route first but if that doesn't work I have a bag of old inner tubes in the shed so will give Alan's suggestion a go! Will report back if I find anything useful.

Hello, I have a second hand Elektra Beckum HC333 P/T in fine working order - apart from the rubber coating on the outfeed roller has disintegrated. I have tried to source a replacement part through a number of suppliers (MTMC, Power Tool Centre) but both say the part is discontinued and not...
