G0603X 25" Extreme Series Planer
Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution
Excessive snipe (gouge in the end of
the board that is uneven with the rest of
the cut).
Note : A small amount of snipe is inevi-
table with all types of planers. The key is
minimizing it as much as possible.
1. One or both of the table rollers are set
too high.
2. Outfeed extension slopes down or is
not level with the main table.
3. Chipbreaker or pressure bar set too
low.
4. Workpiece is not supported as it
leaves the planer.
1. Lower the table rollers ( Page 28 &
41
).
2. Level the outfeed extension wing with
the main table (
Page 18
).
3. Raise the height of the chipbreaker or
pressure bar (
Page 40 & 38
).
4. Adjust and level the outfeed exten-
sion wing (
Page 18
).
Workpiece stops/slows in the middle of
the cut. 1. Taking too heavy of a cut.
2. One or both of the bed rollers are set
too low or too high.
3. Chipbreaker or pressure bar set too
low.
4. Feed rollers set too low or too high.
5. Table not parallel with head casting.
6. Pitch and glue build up on planer
components.
1. Take a lighter cut.
2. Lower/raise the bed rollers (
Page 28
& 41 ).
3. Raise the height of the chipbreaker or
pressure bar ( Page 40 & 38 ).
4. Adjust the feed rollers to the correct
height ( Page 38 )
5. Adjust the table so it is parallel to the
head casting ( Page 36 ).
6. Clean the internal cutterhead com-
ponents with a pitch/resin dissolving
solvent.
Chipping (consistent pattern). 1. Knots or conflicting grain direction in
wood.
2. Nicked or chipped carbide cutter.
3. Feeding workpiece too fast.
4. Taking too deep of a cut.
5. Misadjusted chipbreaker.
1. Inspect workpiece for knots and grain
direction (
Page 27
).
2. Rotate or replace the affected carbide
insert (
Page 35
).
3. Slow down the feed rate ( Page 28 ).
4. Take a smaller depth of cut. (Always
reduce cutting depth when surface
planing or working with hard woods.)
5. Adjust chipbreaker alignment and
height (
Page 40
).
Fuzzy grain. 1. Wood may have high moisture con-
tent or surface wetness.
2. Dull cutters.
1. Check moisture content and allow to
dry if moisture is too high.
2. Rotate/replace the cutters ( Page 35 ).
Long lines or ridges that run along the
length of the board 1. Nicked or chipped cutter(s). 1. Rotate/replace the cutters ( Page 35 ).
Uneven knife marks, wavy surface, or
chatter marks across the face of the
board. 1. Feeding workpiece too fast.
2. Misadjusted chipbreaker and/or pres-
sure bar.
3. Carbide cutters not installed evenly.
4. Worn cutterhead bearings.
1. Slow down the feed rate ( Page 28 ).
2. Adjust chipbreaker and/or pressure
bar alignment, height, and tension
(
Page 38, 40, & 44 ).
3. Make sure carbide cutters do not have
debris under them; make sure cutters
are torqued down evenly (
Page 35 ).
4. Replace cutterhead bearings.
Glossy surface. 1. Cutters are dull.
2. Feed rate too slow.
3. Cutting depth too shallow. 1. Rotate/replace the cutters ( Page 35 ).
2. Increase the feed rate (
Page 28
).
3. Increase the depth of cut.
Chip Marks (inconsistent pattern). 1. Chips aren't being properly expelled
from the cutterhead.
1. Use a dust collection system rated for
planer ( Page 19 ).
