AD741 - Chatter on the infeed roller


 

HI all
?
Finding some chatter on 14.5mm boards with 0.5mm depth of cut on some oak flooring....its an engineered board with 5mm of oak and i am removing the finish to apply Rubio.
?
Its only on the first 100mm, distance from the feed roller to the helix cutter head, once it catches the outfeed roller all is well.
?
Finish has been very consistant and high quality and the chatter comes out with 180G sand anyway but just want to fix it.
?
Beds are clean and recently waxed and its new blade in the cutter.
?
Any thoughts would be welcome from the group.
?
Thanks

Based on your description, it sounds like your pressure bar is set too high. ?It should be adjusted to be perfectly flush with the cutting circle of the knives.

Boy you are going to have a mess to clean on those cutters, replacing them may be easier. A planer is not designed to do this. I have on occasion used WBS to remove finish. If your machine is otherwise okay, I assume the board is lifting from the cutters being gummed up. Purely a guess.

The chattering is likely due to the type and thickness of material. Try to lift the boards up as you feed them in, at least until they are under the outfeed rollers. Same goes on the outfeed, if you lift the boards as they get past the infeed rollers, you will hold them flat on the table. Some timber isn't an issue, but others are when it becomes thinner, i suspect this is one of those situations.

Scuff the roller-contacting surface of the finish on the stock with some 80 grit if you can, finer if you cant. Just enough to make it better traction?when you are running out of it. Might be surprised what a quick pass with a hand block or power orbiter could do for your feeding if stock is too smooth.
