Hammer a3-31 adjustments
|
Hello-
?
Machine is about 3 years old. Bought new from Felder. Was ? dialed in when i received it. Last year planer started getting snipe which i attempted to fix without great results. Spoke to Felder and my sales guy who sent me pretty vague adjustment instructions. Said it was a feed roller issue. I have snipe at both side of the board now. Recently jointer went out of adjustment. Watched 2 videos i found on YouTube, Felder sent me instructions for the Jointer which the Tech self proclaimed were prettty useless. I have a 50 inch straight edge and Oneway multi gauge. Made some adjustments but still not there. For those that have been there looking for any advice. I have experience with dovetail way and parallelogram jointers. Ive watched the woodwhisperers steps but because this machine has hinges for the locking handles, etc, maybe something im doing wrong. |

Hi Brian? 1. Is it the jointer that is still giving you issues or the planer or both 2. For the planer snipe I firts want to verify that you are tightening the handle to lock the heigth adjustment shaft. No matter how wel tuned your machine is, if it isn't tightened you will hezt snipe

Hey Bram-
?
Thanks for the response. Im getting snipe.on both the jointer and planer. The planer went out of adjustment last year. I made some adjustments to it last year but never really got it right. They told me having the feed roller too tight or too loose could cause the problem. I was playing cat and mouse with the machine for a bit and then kind of gave up and said it was good enough.?

A couple months ago i started having problems with the Jointer and was developing snipe aboit 1/3 way down the board and at tail end. My outfeed is sitting slightly higher than cutter block. I made some adjustments to both tables and still have an issue. And no i am not tightening the lock on the planer.. maybe thats the issue |

Hey Brian,
?
From what you're saying I would guess your outfeed table is still to high. Potentially it could also be that the two tables aren't parallel (lower in the center).?
In our files folder you can find an instruction on leveling an A3. Note that the C3 an A3 are nearly identical w.r.t. the jointer/planer so there are several topics concerning this topic, just to name a few

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this response.? This weekend I spent some time adjusting the outfeed table to the cutter block.? I think I have it dialed in.? I'll check the threads you sent and adjust the rest of the machine.? I look forward to having it back to where it was.??
