Hi guys I have recently bought a really old cast iron thicknesser, the brand is red fox. It has a capacity of twelve inches by four. I spent two days disassembling, cleaning and adjusting the thing, it cuts like a beauty but the blades are chipped.

This is where the problem lies. These blades have holes through them for their bolts. Does anyone know anything about these machines? I love these old machines but parts may be a problem. I don't have a digital camera, sorry. Any feed back welcome. Hi Jim I hope this 4 th attempt will be successful, we had 3 powercuts here in Perth, wiping my story. So I'll post and edit every few minutes I grew up with a Red Fox 14' planer. I have one blade here in Perth. It has oblong holes in it for adjustment Over 50 years ago we lived on a farm in South Africa. My dad was a self taught woodworker, kind of self taught jack of all. Warhammer dawn of war dark crusade patch 1.2. He made all the woodworking machines himself except the Red Fox Planer. On a Saturday the Farmall H tractor will be lined up to drive a line shaft off its power take off pulley. The tractor will spend all of Saturday idling, driving this shaft. He had the Red Fox planer, a circular 'table' saw, bandsaw, spindle moulder and a lathe all lined up next to each other in that order. The machines will be switched off or on by either flicking the v belt driving it from the shaft onto the pulley or off the pulley. The machines were made from all sorts of stuff, bolted together as he did not have the luxury of a welder. I recall that model used a sectioned flat leather belt to drive the infeed rollers. My Dad made lots of furniture, some I have here in Perth and all the Kiaat was planed on the Red Fox planer from rough sawn boards. I'll attach a pic of a circular tabletop of a table that he made to illustrate the grain. I'll post a few more pics under Kiaat in woodwork pic area. I trust that you find some blades for your planer. I am sure that a good saw doctor can make them up. It is just a flat about 5 mm thick blade, three oblong holes for attachment and a beveled cutting edge. They were top of the range in their day and surely my Dad's pride and joy.the only bought machine he ever owned!! Regards, Joe Have fun.keep turnin Kiaat trees were felled on this farm where I was born, milled nearby, seasoned and he did his woodwork with that timber. I'll quote a bit about Kiaat and also a website where some boards can be seen: Kiaat (Pterocarpus Angolensis) Also known as Muniga, Bloodwood, Paddle-wood, Sealing-Wax tree, Wild Teak, Transvaal Teak, Mukwa. Colour is fairly uniform dark red-orange. The grain is close, and straight to interlocked and varies from medium to coarse in texture. Some boards here: http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/kiaat.htm. Jim, I purchased a Red Fox 12 inch planer at a new and used tool store about 10 years ago. The planer needed some repair. 9x6. The table was not flat, being worn down the center. A local machine shop was able to grind it flat. The bronze bearings in the cutter head were also worn. The bearings are a common size and easily replaced. Much to my surprise, the planer came with the original operating instructions and sales brochure. I have attached a copy of the instructions.
