6
The workpiece with
respect to the
reference fence
a) The axial position of the
feeding roller is not correct.
b) Pressure exerted on the
upper wall is not correct
a) Re-adjust the nip roller at the centre of
the workpiece to be machined.
b) Make sure that all components exert a
pressure on the workpiece
7
Feeding roller signs are
visible on the
workpiece surface
a) The thickness of the raw
material being removed is
too thin
b) High removal from the first
lower horizontal planer shaft
c) feeding unit pressure too
high
a) select a wooden piece with a larger
section of raw material to be removed.
b) reduce the thickness of the material to
be removed in the first lower horizontal
planer shaft.
c) reduce feeding unit pressure
8
Black signs are visible
on the workpiece
a) the cutter is damaged
because of a low feeding
speed.
b) The wooden piece
remained for a certain time
inside the machine.
c) Cutter is worn.
a) Increase feeding speed.
b) Do not leave the workpiece under the
planer shaft for a long time during
machining
c) Re-sharpen the cutter
9
Signs are visible on the
rubber roller
The raw wooden piece has a
pointed surface
Reduce the pressure on the outfeed roller
accordingly

PROBLEMS WITH THE CUTTER
No.
Problem
Probable cause
Cure
1
Cutter is very worn
The cutter material is not
suitable for the type of wood
to be machined
Select cutter materials suitable for the type of
wood, for example high speed steel, alloy steel
(Stellite), alloy steel (Hardmetal)
2
Cutter edge broken
a) The cutter was
sharpened using an
excessively high
temperature
b) Rear angle too large.
a) Upon subsequent sharpening, select a
suitable grinder wheel, lower sharpening
speed and pay particular attention to cutter
cooling.
b) Reduce the rear angle.
3
Cutter turning is
irregular
a) Cutter was not
dynamically balanced
b) Blades used were not
balanced.
c) Multiple types of blades
mounted together and/or
different weight
d) Pieces of wood remain
trapped between cutter
and planer shaft base.
a) Carry out a dynamical balancing test on the
cutter.
b) Balance the blades
c) Mount blades of the same type. (of the
same weight).
d) Prior to assembling, clean the joint inside.
4
Mounting cutters on
planer shaft is
impossible
All cutter lock nuts are not
properly tightened
Tighten cutter lock nuts uniformly
