Uneven knife marks on your Jet Power Tool workpiece are typically due to nicked or misaligned knives. Align the knives and replace any that are nicked.
What causes snipe on Jet Power Tool projects?
Snipe on your Jet Power Tool projects can be caused by several factors. Inadequate support for long boards is a common cause; use extension rollers to provide better support. Dull knives can also contribute, so ensure they are sharp. Additionally, improper lumber butting can lead to snipe; butt each piece of stock end to end as they pass through the machine.
Why does my Jet Power Tool keep tripping the circuit breaker?
If your Jet Power Tool frequently trips the circuit breaker, several factors could be at play. Ensure the planer is on a correctly sized circuit. A loose electrical lead could also be the culprit. Overloading due to excessively heavy cuts can also cause trips; try taking lighter cuts. Also, ensure the dust chute is correctly seated so that the key on the dust chute depresses the micro-switch on the machine.
Why doesn't the board thickness match the depth of cut scale on my Jet JJP-8BT?
If the board thickness does not match the depth of cut scale on your Jet Power Tool, it means the depth of cut scale is incorrect. Adjust the depth of cut scale.
How to fix chatter marks on my Jet Power Tool workpiece?
If your Jet Power Tool is leaving “chatter” marks on the workpiece, it could be due to several reasons. The knives might be incorrectly set, so ensure they are properly set and that the knife slots are clean and free of dust or debris. Another cause could be feeding the workpiece too fast, so try feeding it slowly and consistently. Also, cutting too deeply can cause this issue, so make shallower cuts.
Why is the finished stock concave on the front end with my Jet JJP-8BT Power Tool?
If the finished stock from your Jet Power Tool is concave on the front end, it indicates that the outfeed table is higher than the knife. Align the cutterhead knives with the outfeed table.
Why is the finished stock concave on the back end with my Jet JJP-8BT Power Tool?
If the finished stock from your Jet Power Tool is concave on the back end, it indicates that the knife is higher than the outfeed table. Align the cutterhead knives with the outfeed table.
What causes rough grain when using my Jet JJP-8BT?
If your Jet Power Tool is leaving rough or raised grain, it may be caused by dull knives, so you should sharpen them. It could also be that you're taking too heavy a cut, so adjust the depth. High moisture content in the wood can also contribute to this, so remove the high moisture content from the wood by drying.
Why am I getting fuzzy grain with my Jet JJP-8BT?
If you're experiencing fuzzy grain when planing with your Jet Power Tool, it might be due to planing wood with high moisture content. Remove the high moisture content from the wood by drying it. Also, check if the knives are dull and sharpen or replace them if necessary.
Why does my Jet Power Tool produce a rounded, glossy surface?
If your Jet Power Tool is producing a rounded, glossy surface, several factors could be at play. Dull knives can cause this, so sharpen or replace them. The feed speed might be too slow, so increase it. Additionally, the cutting depth might be too shallow, so increase the depth. Also, a rough or dirty planer bed can contribute to this issue, so clean pitch and residue and wax the planer table. Finally, a clogged surface of feed rollers can be the cause, so clear chips off of the rollers.
