Why does my Grizzly G0815 Planer leave uneven cutting marks or chatter marks?
- N
  njohnsonAug 15, 2025
  Uneven cutting marks, a wavy surface, or chatter marks on your board can occur for several reasons: * The feed rate might be too fast, so try slowing it down. * The chipbreaker could be set unevenly or not low enough; adjust its height. * The knives might not be installed evenly in the cutterhead; use a knife-setting gauge to adjust them. * The cutterhead bearings could be worn, requiring replacement.

What to do if my Grizzly G0815 Planer causes chipping with a consistent pattern?
- C
  Cynthia GutierrezAug 18, 2025
  Consistent chipping patterns are often due to: * Knots or conflicting grain direction in the wood. Inspect your workpiece and only use clean stock, cutting with the grain. * Taking too deep of a cut. Reduce the depth, especially with hardwoods. * The feed rate being too fast. * A mis-adjusted chipbreaker. Adjust both sides of the chipbreaker to the correct height. * A nicked or chipped knife. Replace or sharpen the affected knife.

  Excessive snipe (gouges at the end of the board) can be addressed by: * Raising the height of the chipbreaker. * Supporting the workpiece as it leaves the outfeed end of the planer. * Planing lumber longer than needed and cutting off the snipe after planing.

Why does the workpiece stop or slow down in the middle of a cut with my Grizzly G0815 Planer?
- M
  Melissa RichardsonAug 25, 2025
  If your workpiece stops or slows down, it could be due to: * Taking too deep of a cut. Reduce the cutting depth, especially with hardwoods. * The chipbreaker being set too low. Raise its height. * The feed rollers being set too low or too high. Adjust them accordingly. * Pitch and glue buildup on the planer components. Clean them with a pitch/resin dissolving solvent.

Why does my Grizzly G0815 Planer leave a glossy surface on the wood?
- D
  danielcochranAug 28, 2025
  A glossy surface after planing can result from: * Dull knives. Replace or sharpen them. * A feed rate that is too slow. Increase it. * A cutting depth that is too shallow. Increase the depth of cut.
