    Default Delta TP400LS / 22-560 Thicknesser Blades

    Hi all,

    I have this Delta Thicknesser and find it to be quite good, but as I work with recycled hardwood mostly I find that I am going through my blades very quickly.

    From Carbatec the blades cost $69.00.

    These are my options as I see it. Please feel free to comment.

    1. Size my wood closer to the finished size on the tablesaw first.
    (This is difficult, as the table saw only cuts to a depth of 90mm)

    2. Sell the Delta and buy something where I can re sharpen the blades.

    3. Find a cheaper source for the Delta blades.
    (Still looking!)

    4. Source OEM blades to suit the Delta
    (Still looking!)

    Looking foward to any comments

    Flip the timber end for end and re-cut will give close to 180mm depth of cut.
    Splitter needs to be removed for first cut, so proceed with caution.
    Search US for Delta blades - 22-562.

    Growing old is much better than the alternative!

    From the Amazon site

    "Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses. For APO/FPO shipments, please check with the manufacturer regarding warranty and support issues. "

    From Northwest Powertools

    "We are not taking international orders at this time. "

    So it probably didn't help much

    Thanks for your comments!

    How do you guys resize you timber? Do you use the tablesaw or a bandsaw?
    I find that I loose too much on the table saw. And how close do you get the timber to size before using the thicknesser? If i'm sizing to 18mm, I use the table saw to bring the timber to about 21mm, just to make sure that I don't have gouges in the timber, and then use the thicknesser to bring it down to 18mm. (seems to be about 5 - 6 passes per piece)

    The reason I ask this is maybe I'm just overworking the same piece of timber. (Therefore blunting my blades too quickly)

    BTW

    I have already tried to purchase from the internet and keep coming up with "No international orders".

    So I emailed Delta last week about who the local distributor was.
    As it turns out, Black and Decker bought out the Delta and Porta Cable group last year! I thought to myself, great now I can buy spare parts from Bunnings (NOT).

    They gave me the local Black and Decker no. , which I rang.
    The told me that Carbatec is the authorised distributor for this product, so I'm back to square one.

    Argy,

    Some time ago a couple of us has problems with blade life and the cost of replacements. We now have a jig to sharpen the blades (or give them a quick touch up) to get a bit more life out of them before throwing them out.

    Check this thread.

    Carbatec still sell 12.5" blades in TCT or HSS that should suit this machine http://www.carbatec.com.au/blades/th...jointer-blades

    Talk to the Brisbane shop and should be able to confirm especially if you send them some images of the existing blades (especially their profile)
    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.
