Ron Dudelston Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Today my back-ordered feed rollers arrived for my 13" Delta planer so I spent the afternoon tearing it down, putting the new rollers in and getting it all dialed in. Wow, I should have done this a year ago. On the Delta the infeed roller is stationary and the outfeed roller is 20 thousandths lower than the blades. I fussed with it until I had it perfect (OCD kicking in) but it was worth it. No snipe at all and the board is dead flat all the way across. Ernie Richardson (BAA Bugler) 1 Quote
lew Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 Maybe I should do this to my Dewalt. It is starting to create a little snipe. Quote
Ron Dudelston Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 Lew, the big shocker to me was how far off my outfeed roller was. Quote
John Moody Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 Come on down and set mine for me. Quote
Ron Dudelston Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 I'll set it when I come down in March. Quote
Gene Howe Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 Ain't it sweet when you get a machine to working right? I was never able to do that until I quit driving ( should say, trying to fix) Chrysler products. Ernie Richardson (BAA Bugler) 1 Quote
Harry Brink Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 I'll set it when I come down in March. Such a nice guy! John Moody 1 Quote
Ron Dudelston Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 Not really Harry. I was going down there in March to check out his wood stash. Ernie Richardson (BAA Bugler) 1 Quote
