    Setting planer knives - a minor victory

    This is the front page of the manual: And this is the part it says what the height should be: I think that if I don't manage with the dial indicator, that magnetic jig together with the removal of the springs will have to do it. Sent from my GT-I9515 using Tapatalk

    Setting planer knives - a minor victory

    yes I presume the proper material is aluminium but i have no way of doing that. So i tried with MDF and failed as the knifes dig into the MDF. The manual states 0.7-0.8mm recommended with 1.1mm MAX. Whilst experimenting and measuring with the depth guage of a micrometer, i realised that...

    Setting planer knives - a minor victory

    The problem with these jigs, although they look very precise, is the strong springs that push up the blades. It requires a bit of effort to push down the blades really low into the cutter head. I cut an arc of MDF with a 75mm diameter to sit on the blades and push them down as I tighten the...

    Setting planer knives - a minor victory

    I will scan the manual page tonight and post. I would use the stick setup if the outfeed table is setup correctly. This is the reason I am trying to reference the blades to the cutter head and then be able to set the outfeed table correctly with the stick method, then finally the infeed to...

    Setting planer knives - a minor victory

    It is a replica of the axminister aw106pt2 / charnwood w583 10x7 thicknesser /planer. The cutter block is a 75mm drum that takes 3 blades. Sent from my GT-I9515 using Tapatalk

    Setting planer knives - a minor victory

    My planer has been without blades for the last 10 days because the manual states the knives should be 0.7/0.8mm above the cutter head. I still haven't found an accurate way to do this. Ordered a dial indicator and some magnets to put a jig together and hopefully get this thing back together...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    I took the pictures but never got round to post them. Got some comments to make on my setup to do too now that I have used the machine for some time. Too late for all this now today. Oh and please don't complain about the weather. Tomorrow is going to be 32 degrees Celsius and am working in...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    If you decide on putting back on the left side table in between the machine body and the sliding table, you don't need extra legs as the sliding table already has supporting legs. If on the other hand you intend using the left hand wing table on the right, you will need legs. I didn't put on...
