Problem
Possible cause
Action
Lines along the edges of the
moulding knives.
1. The planer knives are set to
too low removal.
2. The moulding knives have
been incorrectly sharpened.
1. Adjust planer knife removal with
Logosol's adjustment block or with
magnetic adjustment for the top
cutter to 1 mm or, if necessary, a
few tenths of a millimetre more.
2. Grind the moulding knives so
that their edges are below the
level of the planer knives, or use
adjustable moulding knife wedges
and position the moulding knives
correctly against the planing
knives.
The planer knife planes down
the moulding's highest points.
1. The planer knives are set to
too high removal.
2. The moulding knives have
been incorrectly sharpened.
1. Adjust planer knife removal with
Logosol's adjustment block or with
Logosol's magnetic setting for the
top cutter to 1 mm or a few tenths
of a millimetre less.
2. Use Logosol's adjustable
moulding knife wedges and
position the moulding knives
correctly against the planer
knives.
The width of the board changes
during processing.
1. The workpiece moves away
from the side guides.
2. The locking screw of the
movable cutter is not
tightened.
3. Pressure plates, spring
mechanism jams.
4. The workpiece is too small for
the set planer dimensions.
5. Excessive removal at the
fixed side cutter.
1. The guides on the right are
incorrectly set. Adjust the guides
according to the instructions.
2. Tighten the screw before planing.
3. Adjust the spring mechanism of
the pressure plates.
4. Choose a wider workpiece or
reduce the set width.
5. Reduce the feed speed or reduce
removal of the fixed side cutters.
Poor surface along the left side
of the workpiece.
1. The movable cutter's locking
screw under the table is not
tightened.
1. Tighten the screw before planing.
Thin lines that are higher than
the rest of the surface on the
planed workpiece.
1. The planer knives have had
small marks due to grains of
sand, gravel, etc.
2. Move one of the planer knives
approximately 1 mm and secure
again. In this case, the planer
knives slightly overlap each other
and the lines can disappear. If the
problem persists, the knives need
to be sharpened.
Chips are ejected from the
workpiece at the movable side
cutter.
1. Too much removal.
1. Sizing plane the workpiece before
final processing.
