Inspecting Knives

cutterhead.
The Model W1692 15" Planer features a 3 knife
cutterhead. Correctly positioned knives act as a
reference point for adjusting the feed rollers
and the chip breaker.
The knife edge should be within 0.002" from
one end to the other. Improperly adjusted
knives may unbalance the cutterhead, reduce
the sharpness of knife edges prematurely,
shorten bearing life, and produce poor planing
results. To check the knives, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2. Remove the upper cover as shown in
Figure 15
for access to the cutterhead.
3.
Remove the V-belt cover from the left-
hand side of the planer (facing front).
4. Using the V-belt to rotate the cutterhead,
turn the cutterhead so one of the knives is
accessible.
5. Position both feet of the knife setting jig
on the cutterhead. The knife should barely
touch the center of the jig as shown in
Figure 16
.
6.
If the knife does not contact the center of
the jig, or if the knife contacts the center
of the jig but both feet will not sit solidly
on the cutterhead, then the knives will
need to be adjusted.
For quick and easy knife adjustments to within
0.001" from one knife end to the other, use a
Planer Pal ® . Refer to Planer Accessories on
pages 34 and 35 for more details.
