The Elektra Beckum PK 250 table saw is a medium-sized table saw for the home woodworker. It takes its name (like many saws) from the largest saw blade it can fit (250mm). Some versions of the PK 250 have a closed metal sheet stand, others just metal legs.
There are a few machines similar to the PK 250: The PK 300, which is a larger, panel saw version, the PK 200, which is smaller, and the PKR 250, which has a scoring knife. The UK 330 is nearly identical to the PK 250, but has a special pull-push saw system.
To complicate things even further, there is also the PK 255, which is an updated version, and the PKF 255 V8, which is a more advanced panel saw version.
Several extensions are available, among which a table width and length extension, and a sliding table. The sliding table of the PK 250 is a vertical bar with bearings rolling on the top on the bottom. In contrast, the PK 200 sliding table is horizontal.
Replacement Saw Blades: If you’re looking for new blades for your PK 250, you’re lucky, because there are still many 250 mm, 30 mm arbor blades available today. For example, you can find blades that will fit the PK250 with the best user reviews on Amazon UK or Amazon Germany.
Decent table saw that can deliver good results when calibrated properly.

Im a Brazilian retired engineer and now a home woodworker.
In my workshop I have several machines made by ELEKTRA BECKUM and, during years of use, all of them are in perfect conditions, including a PK 250 table saw.
I’m only regret not having bought the extensions of the saw.
The brand is excellent
I need a grid for elektra beckon pk250
Hi, Blaine Osler here from South Africa. There is a very good PK250 for sale in my country. Could you please give me some sort of an idea the price range for this vintage type model. Does not have any extensions.
Hi Blaine, prices could be quite different in SA, but here in the Netherlands, I would say between €250 and 350 without any extensions, sometimes slightly more.
Hope that helps!
Good day
I own a EB Pk 250 table saw which I baught new +- 35 years ago. Have done very litle work with him as I do woodworking as a hobby. (Only on second blade)
I have to adjust the allignment of the blade with the mitre slots.
Can’t find anything on web to assist me.
Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
Regards.
Hi I wanna know de price
Hi, how do I raise the small scoring/scribing blade on my Electra Beckum PK 250?
Thanks
How do you lubricate the ‘rise and fall’ of the blade mechanism?
My machine has difficulty in starting. Some times fails to start after pressing switch. What is the problem.
Difficulty starting? Probably the starting capacitor is worn out. Very inexpensive and easy to replace. You are looking for a white plastic cilinder with 2 wires on 1 end. Order a replacement with same rating. They just get old over time…
Hi there, my machine has become difficult to raise and lower and when I do raise it slightly the blade moves to the left fouling the table, I have cleaned the threads on the mechanism.
Can someone post a photo or parts diagram of the underside of the fence locking mechanism? The parts connected to the big brass knob. Mine is missing bits or not original and not working.
