Re: AD941 Planer Thickness Variation
|
I bet it's more likely an errant chip stuck somewhere or inconsistent wood density across the face will cause your stock to feed slightly?off-plane. Or, just run it through twice and/or flip directions to even such a close tolerance.?
FWIW, I just planed out fresh stock that had acclimated prior to a humid front passing through the day of?machining. The wood expanded the fresh surfaces 0.010" within 30 minutes of planing. I ran it through one more time to calibrate before the batch went to the next machining steps, no big deal.
I'm also done with the self-commissioning of my new AD941. I ran a couple of 3" wide pieces of red oak, one on the left side of the planer ("thicknesser") and one on the right. There was about 0.005" in variation of their thickness.
- Is this adjustable?
- Is this worth adjusting?
- In other words...is the procedure just as error-prone, difficult, and what-not as to not make it worth attempting. I realize that this is wood and many people wouldn't care about 0.005" variation, but I do.
