machine repair, So. Calif

[Vince Shriver]

I've got a Delta 380 (15" planer) that needs help. It drips oil, smells like burnt oil when running, only runs on one of its 2-speeds, and has some issue with getting stock flat. I've had Byrd cutters installed recently, but won't take it back to the people who did it for reasons stated above. Repairing machinery is not a talent I possess. I'm looking for a company in So. Cal that can get it running as it was meant to. Any help most appreciated. Vince

I don't know the history, but have you called the company that installed the Byrd head to see if they'd make it right?

If you were local I'd help you, and you may find a mechanically inclined Creeker that might lend a hand.

Eagle Tools in LA has a tech (Art) they can send to you. Art is magnificent.

Thanks Chuck, just what I need.

Try Eagle Tools on Treadwell in Los Angeles. Really cool place to visit, too.
