It's a hazy shade of winter.

 

Nice!

 

It’s still morning, correct?


Good day fellow maniacs!

Just getting my head above water. Had a few system crashes early this morning and I got paged to help bring them back online

 

All better now?

I’m spiritual but I’m not religious. Which just means I ain’t gettin’ my ass up early on a Sunday

This one looks incomplete. What is it missing?

 

Chamfered edge, nice touch.


Using a surface planer is something of an art.
I've owned 3 over the years and each one behaved slightly differently.

The usual cause of sniping is that there can be a little shudder or bounce when the piece passes out of contact with the first drive roller.

It seems to me that when you get that little bounce, it's because of one or both of these:

1) Dull blades. This is the biggie.
2) You've lowered the head too far for a pass.. which can be aggravated if there's a knot or just a harder spot in the wood.
This is of course related to #1 above.


Be alert to any change in the note of the sound the planer makes which indicates it's bogging down, even slightly.
I found that I could cut down on sniping if I did things in batches.
One piece following another, the back end of the leading piece in contact with the front end of next.

But sniping is gonna happen
