So I changed over my WM-718 from drum sanding to planing today while making some nice picture frames for my mother and mother-in-law. This was my first time using the 718 with my DC all setup.
So I'm planing this piece of nice quilted maple. DC is on. Chips are FLYING!!! I'm all bummed about it. "Geeze this DC sucks... In the wrong way", I thought. So I go make sure the DC is on. Hard to hear over the 718. DC was on. Then I saw the blast gate for my TS was open. Great!!!
Still no pickup at the 718...
I forgot to open the blast gate at my 718. Once I opened it it picked up an impressive amount of chips. I will eventually try to improve it. Good enough for now.
What a dufus!!!
