Hi, My question is. I have a 20 inch powermatic # 208 that I want to take the blades out of. It has a nick in it. The planer didnt come with the planer knife tool (sawhorse looking tool). Is it needed?
On my 12 inch ridgid you just untighten the square nut and take blade out and plop the new ones in.When they hit bottom there in. Is the powermatics not as easy as this?
Also are the blades sharpenable on these or are they throw aways?
Boy its alot quiter than the ridgid, I like that.
Also what is the chip breaker bar? What does it prevent or do?
Thanks
