  Nicole ThomasAug 16, 2025
  If your Grizzly Planer workpiece stops or slows down in the middle of a cut, it could be due to a few reasons. You might be taking too heavy of a cut, so try taking a lighter cut. Another possibility is that the feed rollers are set too low or too high, so you may need to adjust them. Lastly, pitch and glue buildup on the planer components can cause this issue, so clean the internal cutterhead components with a pitch/resin-dissolving solvent.

  If your Grizzly Planer is causing chipping or indentation in the workpiece surface with an inconsistent pattern, it is likely due to chips not being properly expelled from the cutterhead. Using a proper dust-collection system should resolve this issue.

How to prevent excessive snipe on my Grizzly G0890 Planer?
- Q
  qleeAug 28, 2025
  If you're experiencing excessive snipe (an uneven gouge at the end of the board) when using your Grizzly Planer, it might be due to a few reasons. First, check if the outfeed extension slopes down or isn't level with the main table; if so, shim the outfeed extension wing to make it level. Another cause could be that the workpiece isn't supported as it leaves the planer, so try holding the workpiece up slightly as it exits the outfeed end. Remember that some snipe is inevitable, so plane the lumber longer than needed and cut off the excess after planing.
