Hi folks, I am usually on the Neanderthal forum, the only real power tool I use is my planer...
anyway I was hoping you could help me figure out an issue I have with it.
I have the DW735 with the wings added on.
The planer has been cleaned and the wings and surface have been waxed.
I jointed a board flat with a no.8 and checked its surface for flat (it is)
I then marked the flat surface as reference, scribbled very thoroughly on on the surface I wanted planed, placed it reference surface down and passed it through taking the minimum amount of material off so that the scribbles disappeared. I then placed the board on my bench reference side up, it rocked significantly side to side.
I turned it over (reference side down) it doesn't rock.
I figured I may have not taken a good enough pass so I scribbled a very detailed grid on the non reference side, and passed it through the planer with a 5th of a turn on the depth adjustment. all the pencil came off and I ended up with the same result a board convex along its width
anyone have an explanation?
