I have no idea how to check the alignment of the rollers. I have just a ryobi bench top. Jack are you just saying that I may need to just clear all the chips out from the machine? I did notice that I...
I have tried 2 different boards and keep getting these huge chunks taken out. my planer has practically brand new blades, I put them in last fall and may have used them once or twice before winter...
I personally would just make new handles and start using it.
If size is the only difference then I feel I may want a dove tail saw. I don't cut that big of tenons and if need be I can do those on the table saw.
