G1037Z 13" Planer/Moulder -33-

For the best results, have planer knives sharp-

ened by a professional sharpening service which

has the grinding and measurement equipment to

assure that the knife cutting geometry is main-

tained at optimum levels. Knife sharpening is a

procedure that requires some care and precision;

otherwise, a set of blades can be easily ruined.

Knives should always be ground as a set so they

can be properly matched. Unequal material

removal can result in an unbalanced cutterhead

which can affect not only planing surface quality

but ultimately the life of the cutterhead bearings.

Your planer/moulder knives can be sharpened by

a blade hone. See the “Aftermarket Accessories”

sub-section at the back of this manual for more

information.
