Why are there uneven knife marks on the workpiece from my Jet JJP-10BTOS Planer?
If you're seeing uneven knife marks on your workpiece from the Jet Planer, it's likely that the knives are nicked or out of alignment. Align the knives and replace any that are nicked.
What to do if my Jet JJP-10BTOS Planer won't start or keeps tripping the breaker?
If your Jet Planer won't start, restarts unexpectedly, or trips the circuit breaker, consider the following: * Verify the unit is connected to power and the Start/Stop switch is in the Start position. * If the planer frequently trips, try taking a lighter cut. * Ensure the planer is on a circuit of the correct size; a loose electrical lead could also be the cause. * Adjust the dust chute, making sure that the key on the dust chute depresses the micro-switch on machine.
Why is my Jet JJP-10BTOS Planer leaving a rounded, glossy surface?
A rounded, glossy surface from your Jet Planer can result from: * Dull knives, so sharpen or replace them. * Feed speed being too slow, so increase it. * Cutting depth being too shallow, so increase it. * A rough or dirty planer bed, so clean and wax the table. * Clogged feed rollers, so clear residue chips off of them.
Why does the cutterhead slow down while operating my Jet Planer?
If the cutterhead on your Jet Planer slows down during operation, it may be because you are feeding the workpiece too quickly or applying too much pressure. Try feeding more slowly or applying less pressure.
What causes fuzzy grain when using a Jet Planer?
If you're experiencing fuzzy grain when using your Jet Planer: * The wood may have high moisture content, so allow it to dry or use different stock. * Dull knives can also cause this, so sharpen or replace them.
How to fix chatter marks on the Jet Planer?
If you notice chatter marks on your workpiece when using the Jet Planer: * Ensure knives are correctly set and knife slots are clean. * Reduce the feed rate of the workpiece. * Make shallower cuts.
Why am I getting rough or raised grain with my Jet Planer?
If you're getting a rough or raised grain finish with your Jet Planer, consider these factors: * Dull knives could be the culprit, so sharpen them. * The cut might be too heavy, so adjust the depth. * High moisture content can also cause this, so dry the wood.
How can I minimize snipe when using my Jet JJP-10BTOS?
