Jamie Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Well my morning isn’t going to great. Making a cutting board as a wedding gift. Went to plane down the first glue up and on the second pass WHAM! Cutter head came apart on one corner and metal shot out of the machine.

Jamie Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 It was on the face grain. Made a light skim pass and lowered the head 1/4 turn and all hell broke loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spare set, the plate that holds the blade is destroyed. Haven’t tried to take it off yet so not sure what else got it. Not even sure why it happened?

Bushwacked Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) oh didnt know it destroyed that too ... that sucks! Maybe this is a sign you should upgrade to the Shelix head ? ... that is random that it just exploded like that without hitting something or the board exploding as well with it causing the issues Edited November 26, 2020 by Bushwacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 After tearing into it some more, got the blade holder off. Had a scar in the cutter head that I filed off. The cutter holder is easy enough to replace. What is concerning is the hole in the frame that is right behind the cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Damn! And I thought my wife's dishwasher crapping out this morning was bad! Glad you weren't hurt! Although, I'm sure you needed to change your shorts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 That sucks. Glad you didn’t get hurt. Guess asking for new underwear for Christmas won’t be strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I'm sure you needed to change your shorts ? It happened so fast that I didn’t have time to be scared. With the blade holder bending and wedging into the table it stopped the machine. At least you can find a Black Friday deal on the dishwasher! Home Depot has appliances on sale bud. 39 minutes ago, Woodenskye (Bryan) said: That sucks. Glad you didn’t get hurt.

Coop Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Glad you are physically ok. I had something similar but not nearly as severe. I had an old secondhand Delta and a blade threw about a 1/4” piece. I didn’t know it until the board came out with the same size rise in it. Upon investigating, I found that a splinter of wood had become lodged between the blade and hold down strip. IMO, you can’t go wrong by asking Santa for a 735. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it might be a little to light of duty for my shop. Been looking some and think the grizzly g0891 might be my choice. Rikon seems to make the exact same one with grizzly being 1k less.

Very tempting. I ordered some parts to put in my current one. Hopefully can get it up and going and sell it off. Might be a crappy thing to do but will be honest with the buyer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I've heard that if you call it in, you can ask for the code and they'll hook you up. I've never tried it as I had one of their stores near where I used to live. They always gave it to me when I walked in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Well I called in yesterday and talked to a nice lady who wouldnt give me the code. She did mention that I should use a different email address to access the code. Worked like a charm! Planer is ordered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to thank @Kev for mentioning a while back to ask around for the discount codes. Yep it’s ordered as of yesterday. Good thing about it is that it didn’t take much convincing to Courtney to get it. I think at this point she has submitted to tool purchases. I think she is out smarting me somehow and this will come back to bite me?. I haven’t figured it out yet, but hey I have a planer coming! Maybe a few other things got added to the cart as well ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Planer showed up! A day earlier than I thought! Wasn’t quite ready for it as my shop is a disaster zone, have been patching up some ice tents and making hot sauce. So as you can imagine it has a pretty bad odor going on. Peppers and melted plastic are not a good combo. Did recruit some neighbors to help get it off the pickup. Had the planer shipped to work, with living on a dead end street it doesn’t work to well to get a truck up here. Did get it cleaned up and put together. Only had to put on the handle and the table extensions. In the manual they mentioned to check the gearbox oil before using, glad I did! It takes a iso32 oil which I believe is non detergent 10w. I actually planed ahead a little and got a couple quarts. Did read the manual before I actually bought the machine and they mentioned changing it at around 20 hours. Was a little tricky getting the oil into the gear box, for once I was really happy I own a boat! Used the lower unit oil pump to get the oil into the gearbox. Fired it up and man is it quiet. Ran a piece of oak and maple through and am really impressed by the cut quality. Maybe it’s the sharp carbide so only time will tell. Will take a little getting used to the depth adjustment as it moves really quick. Thinking I will be getting a digital gauge for it. Not sure what the specs are on the handle, a little over 1/4 turn is 1/16” I also got a mobile base for it that I have yet to put together. Had a good laugh when I opened the handle as it was wrapped in a Chinese newspaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
