Thank you for making this extremely clearly explained and well shot instructional video. Although the blades in my machine are fitted entirely differently, the principle of the delightfully simple measuring procedure was the key which helped me out no end. Content of this quality is why KZread can be so fabulously helpful!

Thanks again for this, I have never been happy with how my new thicknesser Planer performs even after following the manufacturer’s instructions for blade setting. I used your method today and it’s like a new machine!

7 Years later! I bought a version of the HC 260 from a friend. Mine was manufactured in 1983 according to the serial number plate. I was unsure of the method to set the blade height, and although mine works slightly different, this video gave me all the information I needed to set the blades. I've got the version with three set screws, but the test and method is similar enough. Thank you Peter.

It was a very tedious job because the location of the double sided blades in the setting block didn't have a screw adjustment feature. I had to set a protrusion using a micrometer and trial and error. It took several hours but I got there in the end. I would hope Makita have improved the design for their latest models.

martin dickerson Hi Martin, Those bars were firmly attached to my old HC260 I am afraid and I do not believe that Elektra Beckum ever sold a machine without. If there is a recess where you think that they should go you could experiment with some metal bar material (take the fence with you when you go to buy it). When you have the right fit fix it in place by screws from underneath and that might work. If you are in doubt, and with safety in mind, do consult your dealer or an expert. I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful. My HC260 was sold a long time ago and so I can't look closely at mine to give you any better advice. Good luck. Peter

Great video. Thank you very much. I also have a 20 year old HC260. Believe it or not I have not done anything to the blades in all that time, but they clearly need resharpening now. Do you have any advice regarding disposable or resharpenable blades?

@NewBritWorkshop

9 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve, When I bought my 260 I also bought the tungsten blades. The disposable and normal steel blades are okay but need to be sharpened a lot more than tungsten (perhaps 10 times more often). For me it costs the same to sharpen steel and tungsten and so the tungsten pay for themselves in a very short time. If the disposable blades are less than the price of sharpening other blades then go for it. Otherwise try and get tungsten. I have now fitted tungsten blades to my Jet planer and the difference is amazing. Peter
