Symptom
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
Workpiece is
burned when
cut.
1. Dull cutter.
2. Too slow of a feed rate.
3. Pitch build-up on cutter.
4. Cutter rotating in wrong direction/stock fed in
wrong direction.
5. Taking too deep of cut.
1. Replace cutter, or have it professionally sharpened.
2. Increase feed speed (
Page 25).
3. Clean cutter with blade and bit cleaning solution.
4. Reverse direction of cutter rotation/reverse feed
direction (
Page 25).
5. Make several passes of light cuts.
Fuzzy grain.
1. Wood may have high moisture content or
surface wetness.
2. Dull cutter.
1. Check moisture content and allow to dry if moisture is
more than 20%.
2. Replace cutter, or have it professionally sharpened.
Chipping.
1. Cutting against grain of wood.
2. Nicked or chipped cutter.
3. Feeding workpiece too fast.
4. Taking too deep of a cut.
5. Knots in wood.
1. Cut with grain of wood.
2. Replace cutter, or have it professionally sharpened.
3. Decrease feed rate.
4. Take a smaller depth of cut. (Always reduce cutting
depth when working with hard woods.)
5. Inspect workpiece. Use a different workpiece if
necessary.
Divots in edge
of cut.
1. Inconsistent feed speed.
2. Inconsistent pressure against fence and rub
collar.
3. Fence not adjusted correctly.
1. Move smoothly or use a power feeder.
2. Apply constant pressure.
3. Adjust fence (
Page 27).
Workpiece
kicks back
toward
operator.
1. Taking too deep of a cut.
2. Workpiece is warped, rough, has high
moisture content, or large/loose knots.
3. Workpiece pinched between cutter and table
or between cutter and guard.
1. Make several passes of light cuts.
2. Inspect workpiece; only use smooth, dry stock without
large/loose knots.
3. Ensure proper clearance between cutter, guard, and
table.
Workpiece pulls
forward/ejects
from operator's
hands.
1. Feeding workpiece in same direction of cutter
rotation (climb cut).
1. Feed workpiece in opposite direction of cutterhead
rotation.
Workpiece hits
outfeed fence.
1. Fence not adjusted correctly.
1. Adjust fence (
Page 27). Align fence boards with
straightedge, verify parallelism (
Page 50).
Excessive
snipe (gouge
in end of board
that is uneven
with rest of cut).
1. Fence not adjusted correctly.
2. Incorrect workpiece pressure.
1. Adjust outfeed/infeed fence parallelism to support
workpiece as it passes cutterhead (full face removal)
(
Page 50).
2. Apply even pressure to workpiece throughout cut and
use featherboards or power feeder.
