Another great review Matthew. Thank you. I've had the straight knife version for just under 3 years (bought second hand) and it has become my most treasured machine. Combined with the bandsaw it allows great flexibility in use of materials and I am sure has saved me money on stock purchase in that time. Really pleased you are finding the time to keep your woodworking going. Kind regards.

I just got one of these! Picked it up second hand at a fairly "bargain" price (£1320) but it's in pretty good condition with none of the blades yet needing to be turned or replaced, had to pick it up myself mind half way across the country which required a luton van and a whole day... Haven't got the 16A connection fitted yet so yet to get it running. Great review, has gotten me very excited to get it going, I learned a lot from your video so thank you. Didn't know Axminster was replacing it, but hopefully like you say it's not much different.

That's not much cheaper than the new price 18 months ago. Crazy. However, if its in good condition, you've got yourself a belter of a machine for a very good price. Hope it all works out well for you . 👍🏼

I have the old Elektra Beckum version of the Record Power PT and to be honest, I cant stand the thing. I ended up buying a separate Jet thicknesser as anytime I used it as a thicknesser it was miles out of co-planer. I will need to consider a big spend.....

a good review, im curious why the spiral cutterblock would need adjustment, surely everything is adjusted relative to that. certainly seems to have gone up in price since i last looked at it. but compared to the Hammer 10 inch model it seems cheap by comparism, seen a few reviews where the Hammer has some downpoints as well , cheers

Thanks. I don't think that the spiral head is supposed to be adjustable. It's just the way that it's put together means that if you wanted to do it, there would be some adjustment available, through probably not much. In reality, everything else is adjustable so there should never be any need to adjust the cutter block. I'm surprised by your comment about the Hammer. People normally rave about them... but they are way out of my budget so I'll likely never experience it myself.

It's still a machine tool so it's not exactly quiet, but my old PT was the loudest tool in the workshop and this one is the quietest. It's nowhere near as loud as my tablesaw, quieter than my bandsaw, mitresaw and dust extractor... the difference between this and a straight bladed PT is massive. It's one of the main reasons I spent the money as the PT tends to get used for hours at a time on a project.
