Possible Cause
Possible Solution
Excessive snipe
(gouge at the end of
the workpiece that is
uneven with the rest
of the cut).
Note:
A small
amount of snipe is
inevitable with all
types of planers—
the key is to
minimize it.
1. Table extension wings (or aftermarket
support table) not aligned with main table.
2. Workpiece not properly supported as it
leaves planer.
3. Some snipe is inevitable
1. Adjust rear extension wing set screws to align
extension wing with main table.
2. Hold workpiece up slightly as it leaves outfeed end
of planer.
3. Plane lumber longer than your intended workpiece
length, then cut off excess after planing complete.
Chipping (consistent
pattern).
1. Knots or conflicting grain direction in wood.
2. Taking too deep of a cut.
3. Nicked or chipped knife.
1. Inspect workpiece for knots and grain direction; only
use clean stock, and cut WITH the grain.
2. Reduce depth of cut. (Always reduce cutting depth
when planing hard woods).
3. Replace affected knife (
Page 25), or have it
sharpened.
Workpiece stops/
slows in middle of
cut.
1. Taking too deep of a cut.
2. Feed rollers too low.
3. Pitch and glue build up on planer
components.
1. Take a smaller depth of cut. (Reduce cutting depth
when planing hard woods.)
2. Clean feed roller brackets (
Page 32).
3. Clean internal planer components with a pitch/resin
dissolving solvent.
Fuzzy grain.
1. Wood may have high moisture content or
surface wetness.
2. Dull knives.
1. Check moisture content is below 20% and allow to
dry if moisture is too high.
2. Replace knives (
Page 25) or have them
professionally sharpened.
Long lines or ridges
that run along length
of board.
1. Nicked or chipped knife.
1. Replace knives (
Page 25) or have them
professionally sharpened.
Glossy surface.
1. Dull knives.
2. Cutting depth too shallow.
1. Replace knives (
Page 25) or have them
professionally sharpened.
2. Increase depth of cut (
Page 22).
Infeed/outfeed
rollers not rotating.
1. Chain and sprockets are worn,
misadjusted, disconnected, or broken.
