What causes workpiece jams during thicknessing with my Scheppach PLM1800?
Workpiece jams during thicknessing with your Scheppach Planer can occur if the cutting depth is too great. Reduce the cutting depth and machine the workpiece in several passes.
What causes a machined surface to be too rough when using my Scheppach Planer?
If the machined surface is too rough when using your Scheppach Planer, it may be because the workpiece contains too much moisture. You should dry the workpiece.
What causes a machined surface to crack when using a Scheppach PLM1800 Planer?
A machined surface might crack when using a Scheppach Planer if the workpiece was machined against the grain; try machining it from the opposite direction. Also, cracking can occur if too much material was planed in one pass; machine the workpiece in several passes instead.
Why is the workpiece speed too low during thicknessing with my Scheppach PLM1800 Planer?
If the workpiece speed is too low during thicknessing with your Scheppach Planer, the thicknesser table might be resinous, requiring you to clean it and apply glide wax. Another reason might be that the feed roller is too slippery; gently scour it with sandpaper.
What to do if my Scheppach Planer gives an unsatisfactory surface finish?
An unsatisfactory surface finish with your Scheppach Planer can occur due to a blunt or worn planing blade, which should be replaced or sharpened. It may also happen if the planing blade is filled with chips, so remove them. Uneven feed can also cause this, so feed the workpiece with constant pressure and at a reduced speed.
What to do if the speed decreases when planing with my Scheppach PLM1800?
If the speed decreases while planing with your Scheppach Planer, it could be due to too much chip removal – try reducing it. Alternatively, the knives might be blunt and need replacement.
Why does my Scheppach PLM1800 Planer stop during planing?
Your Scheppach Planer might stop during planing due to several reasons: * The planing blade may be blunt or worn, requiring replacement or sharpening. * The overload switch may have tripped; switch on the motor again once it has cooled. * Too much chip removal might be occurring; reduce the amount of chip removal.
What to do if my Scheppach PLM1800 machine cannot be switched on?
If your Scheppach Planer won't switch on, first check the power supply. If the power supply is fine, the carbon brush may be worn, in which case you should take the machine to your service point.
What causes obstructed chip ejection during surface planing and thicknessing (with dust extractor) with my Scheppach PLM1800?
If chip ejection is obstructed during surface planing and thicknessing (with a dust extractor) when using your Scheppach Planer, the suction performance might be too weak. Use a dust extractor unit having an airflow rate at the suction connection of at least 20 m/s.
What causes obstructed chip ejection during thicknessing (without dust extractor) with my Scheppach PLM1800?
If chip ejection is obstructed during thicknessing (without a dust extractor) when using your Scheppach Planer, it could be due to several reasons. You might be removing too much material, so reduce the chip removal. The knives may be blunt, so replace them. The wood could also be too humid, so dry the workpiece.
