Hi there,
I'm looking for some other JPT-260 owners to verify if I have a faulty unit or if this is just bad design. I turned my P/T on the other day to see paint shavings being ejected out the top of the unit. No further damage aside from some chipped blades luckily.
In planing mode, as you rotate the Dust Collector Assembly to the left hand side of the machine, it contacts a small piece that sits in between the Cutterblock and the Infeed Roller. This is item 84 in the Part List and is called the Cutterblock Cover. I'm assuming it is there to help deflect chippings away from the infeed roller. Anyway, this is mounted loosely in some recesses on the front and back cutterblock brackets and seems to have two resting positions. One leaves somewhere between 0.5-1.0mm clearance and the other leaves none. I assume that it ended up in this position the last time I changed from thickenssing to planing mode and the blades have shaved off the paint from the edge of this Cutterblock Cover.
Can someone with a JPT-260 check and see if this part is loose in their machine and if so, can they check the minimum clearance to the blades? All my blades were adjusted using the supplied jig when I received the unit and haven't been adjusted since. It probably has less than 2 hours use on it so far.
Thanks, Shareef.
