Planer Belt I think?
|
Hello All,?
I have often thought about the days of the felder group on yahoo and felder discussions on badger pond. ?I am happy to have found this group. I have a CF741P (2003) and just recently I have noticed when I engage the planer in the course (or down position) the planer makes a noise like something is loose. ?When I engage the planer in the fine or (up position) it doe not make any noise other than the usual cutter-head sound. The machine does vibrate slightly with the noise which makes me think the drive belt is wore out. ?Any advice on where to start would be great appreciated. Thanks Mike Laing? |
开云体育Hi Mike, It sounds like the urethane covered drive wheel is starting to disintegrate, change both low and high speed wheels straight away, quite cheap and saves possible damage to elect motor shaft. Colin ? Sent from for Windows 10 ? |
开云体育Mike if it is urethane covered drive wheels, it is an easy job to change if you access through inspection hatch on shaper side and then remove access hatch into planer/thicknesser cabinet. Colin ? Sent from for Windows 10 ? |

开云体育Mike it wouldn’t hurt to change belt while your at it, mind you the belts do last quite a bit longer than the wheels, wheels I would change every 4=5 years. If having a look, access area by way of air vent panel at base of planer/thicknesser on outfeed side. Colin ? Sent from for Windows 10 ? |
