If your Bauer Planer is leaving a deeper cut at the ends of the board (snipe), it may be due to insufficient support for long boards, so provide better support. It also may be due to uneven force on the cutter head, so level the tables.
What to do if my Bauer Planer will not start?
If your Bauer Planer won't start, first ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the outlet has power. If the outlet isn't working, check the circuit breaker, ensuring the circuit's capacity matches the tool's requirements and isn't overloaded. If the problem persists, it could indicate internal damage or wear, such as with the carbon brushes or switch, which requires servicing by a qualified technician.
Why does the performance of my Bauer Planer decrease over time?
If your Bauer Planer's performance decreases over time, it could be due to dull or damaged blades, which should be replaced. Alternatively, worn or damaged carbon brushes could be the cause, requiring replacement by a qualified technician.
What to do if my Bauer Planer is leaving torn or rough grain?
If your Bauer Planer is producing torn, ragged, rough, or raised grain, several factors could be at play. The blades may be dull or damaged, necessitating replacement. The cut might be too heavy, so reduce the depth of cut. Ensure you're cutting with the grain. Also, wood with high moisture content can cause this issue, so use dry wood.
Why is the belt slipping on my Bauer 1621e-b Planer?
If your Bauer Planer belt is slipping, replace the belt. Alternatively check connections or replace collection bag. If the problem persists, have qualified technician service tool. It also could be that the blades are dull. In this case replace blades. If you are forcing boards through the planer, allow auto feed to work at its own rate. Another reason may be that the cut is too heavy, so reduce depth of cut. It is also possible that the motor is being strained by long or small diameter extension cord, so eliminate the use of the extension cord or use the proper diameter for its length and load.
Why is the roller case adjustment difficult on my Bauer Planer?
If you're experiencing difficulty adjusting the roller case on your Bauer Planer, the sprockets and/or chain may be dirty, so clean and lubricate them. Alternatively, the elevating screws and/or columns might be dirty, requiring cleaning and lubrication. If the elevating screws are worn, replace them.
Why is the chain jumping on my Bauer 1621e-b?
If the chain is jumping on your Bauer Planer, it could be that the sprockets are worn, so have them replaced. It could also be that the chain is worn, so have the chain replaced.
