    Hi all, apologies we have been having continuing trouble with our website contact us which is frustrating all round. Also we are not getting tagged through TPF. I don't know whether this is an associated email issue. @Danny ,we did speak briefly on this. Perhaps we can have a telephone...

    Which speedskim?

    Hi mate, no difference at all - we are still in the process of changing some listing descriptions to show the new OX branding, but anything you do purchase has now been changed to OX Speedskim. The products and blades are exactly the same profile and haven't changed - the only changes are...

    Yeah absolutely Vincey, we are in the progress of manufacturing a nice case.. Should be released late summer, but for those who are keen to get something sooner there are some good 'light box stand' cases and also 'router template' cases that do a good job. Make sure you buy the right length...

    Anyone cut down a speedskim?

    Hi mate, just arranging the PF blades (Ultra-Fine Plastic Finisher),which will be available/on sale I would say in the next 5 weeks. The TL blades (for tiling adhesive and base-coat render) will be available in limited numbers in around 8 weeks ~ Will update you, and let you guys know.. ;-)

    Anyone cut down a speedskim?

    Cheers Bobski :) Hope so! The Speedskim System has great appeal particularly with the new blade ranges coming out :) New sizes will be available including 450mm and 900mm. On sizes like 450, 600 particularly a selection of different blades are on the horizon. As well as ST and SF, next up in the...

    Anyone cut down a speedskim?

    ... :-) the same Speedskim product, same manufacture and design features - but with the luxury of OX distribution! Means you guys can purchase from good tool stockists/merchants rather than relying on mostly having to buy online ;-)

    Anyone cut down a speedskim?

    Hi all, We have entered into a manufacturing deal with OX which is really exciting. We are in the process of switching over to OX Speedskim branding right now... A crucial part of the deal was that OX retain the Speedskim brand which they completely understood the value of! OX are one of, if not...

    Hi mate, the existing Pole Attachment is pretty robust but we have seen an opportunity to improve the design. The environment is harsh and demanding as you know, so using day in and day out does take its toll on these types of accessory. The New Pole Attachment is in the process of manufacture...

    Ok cool! Glad you like the system! :-) Giving the Plasterer options we are launching another range called the PF. Having mastered the SF composite design (Ultra-Fine Stainless Tip), the New PF has Ultra-Fine ABS Tip for those that like to finish their work using plastic as the contact point...

    Absolutely - that's the beauty of the system, if you want to get more done and earn more you can - if you just want an easier day you can. It gives you what you want! ;-)

    Speed skim

    I'm confident you will like the system. Cuts out at least 50% of unnecessary fatigue associated with plastering, and typically saves 40 mins on a standard gauge of plaster. The ST is a great time saver as it reduces surface moisture, and the New SF delivers a smooth seamless finish! ;-)

    The units shouldn't wobble when using the Pole Attachment. The Pole Attachment is glass filled nylon so very robust. We do recommend an aluminium thread when using as some plastic extension pole threads do wobble and do flex. Having developed and improved all aspects we are underway with MK 2...

    Hi mate, I think you had the very first SF blades, which were a work in progress. Opinions were mixed on the original SF and rightly so. A lot of development has taken place since then, the New SF has wider stainless steel tip 55mm x 0.3mm with 4mm radius ends - all buffed ready to use...

    Anyone cut down a speedskim?

    Thanks for the tag Danny :) Have posted reply regarding the new sizes 450mm and 900mm as you will have seen. Regarding cutting the Speedskims down to desired lengths yourself, we can see the logic and 'temptation' - but don't recommend it. The handle, end caps and blade have built in features...

    Predictions 2017

    Hi mate, we are launching a 450mm and 900mm version in the ST and SF ranges. These will be available in around 8 weeks! We started with 1200mm first as this seemed a great all-round size for flattening. The 600mm followed really to complement the 1200 to enable the Plasterer to do varied size...

    Yeah, absolutely we have designed something quite nifty that will keep your Speedskim's tidy and safe. Looks really cool too, so should be nice addition to your plastering kit. Keep you posted on this, hopefully available spring 2017 too! ;-)

    Hi mate, the ST is PVC only blade designed to flatten and rule off. The SF is composite design PVC, with 55mm x 0.3mm stainless steel tip for fine finishing and polishing. The ST reduces surface moisture which allows you to complete the initial stages of the work much quicker. The SF then...

    The All New Speedskim SF Demo

    For us, the Speedskim System is primarily to benefit Plasterers by reducing unnecessary and damaging repetitive fatigue, which for most in the game is a massive issue. Its an individual craft and some Plasterers will prefer to use the trowel throughout. In our opinion using our System ST...

    Speedskim® The NEW SF is Here!

    Hi Kitchy The orange blade was a bit like Marmite for sure. Some feedback was great but some just didn't take to it. So we got stuck in and looked at making design changes. The New SF is radically different and has a wide 55mm x 0.3mm tip. @theplasterman wasn't a fan of the old SF but (I think...

    Speedskim® The NEW SF is Here!

    Hi mate, to answer the direct questions about our stuff. The early grey/white blade were originally fixed. We decided to introduce replacement blade version but still had issues in some cases with warping. This was due to silt ingress which we solved by introducing co-ex rubber seal. This...

    Hi mate, we don't at the moment only because the shipping cost (due to length of parcel) out ways the cost of the blade guard its self. All spare blade packs do come with a guard so for now best option might be to get a spare blade as a back up (which obviously come with the guard) Useful note...
