Feed Problem When Thicknessing
My timber does not feed through correctly when thicknessing.
The way remedy this problem is to clean the thicknesser bed thoroughly from any loose shavings, then apply white spirit to the bed with a clean rag. After this the bed should re-waxed or treated with silicon spray (part no. CWA195). Please note: do not use any oil based products on the thicknesser bed as this will transfer to the passing timber. If cleaning the thicknesser bed does not solve the problem, the cause could be either blunt or incorrectly set planer knives in the cutter block. Also make sure that a square datum face is being achieved on the planing function before thicknessing the timber.
Inconsistent Thicknessing Height
I have just started to have trouble using the thicknesser of my planer thicknesser. When I pass a length of timber through, it always lifts and gouges out the last few inches as it is not fully supported. I have tried using a roller stand to support it but it is still the same.
First of all ensure the piece of timber you are trying to thickness has been correctly planed, leaving you with a perfectly flat datum face on which to run the material on through the thicknesser. Make sure the thicknesser table is regular treated with silicon spray (CWA195) or a good quality wax to give smooth running through the thicknesser. Finally if you are still having problems make sure the knives on the thicknesser block are sharp set at the correct height.
