You can find replacement two-sided disposable blades at Amazon Germany, at Amazon UK, or at .uk (slightly cheaper). Replacement Blades: Most newer machines use disposable blades, while the older ones have resharpenable ones. You could attach it only when you want to use the mortiser, but this is quite a lot of work and not practical. The downside of this attachment is that it weighs quite a lot an over time can warp your planer table. There is also a mortising attachment available. The motor is integrated and cannot easily be replaced.

The power ranges quite a lot, from under 2000 Watt to 4200 Watt for certain 3-phase motors, making it a very powerful machine for home woodworkers. Some also come with wheels and a handle, which is quite useful because the machine can weigh up to 80kgs. Some machines have a closed stand (to limit the noise), while others are open. The green versions tend to be a bit older than the blue ones, which come from after Elektra Beckum was bought by Metabo, which makes the blue ones more attractive. The aluminium tables also tend to be sturdier and last better over time, although the sheet steel ones are fine if they are still in good condition. Having the motor mounted underneath is better, because when using the machine you don’t have to make a big circle when walking around. The most important differences are whether the motor is mounted on the side or underneath, and whether the tables are made from cast aluminium or sheet steel. There are a few differences, which can impact the value and use quality. There are several versions of the HC 260, which can be distinguished by the letter following the name: HC 260M, HC 260K, HC 260C. Another machine that is extremely similar is the Record Power PT260. Its spiritual successor is the Metabo HC 260, which replaced the original after Metabo took over Elektra Beckum in the early 2000s. The Elektra Beckum HC 260 is one of the classic jointer-planer combinations, and its basic design can be seen in many currently available machines.
