...chips flying (planer pics)

[Walt Caza]

Good Day Fellow Creekers,
Finally got my 15" planer hoisted into loft shop and running.
Features I like are the built-in wheels with locks, slide-out handles,
return rollers on top, mag switch and big cast tables.
Enhancements are the Wixey digital height guage (gold) and the
Byrd Shelix head (golden) with 99 carbide inserts.

I have been playing with QSWoak with zero tear-out, feeding one way,
and then the other. She runs quiet enough that you can talk without
having to shout over the machine. I ran a new homerun circuit 12/2 on a
20amp 240volt breaker. Just need to get her hooked into dust collection.

pics are: on the forks, face shot, gaping mouth with a peek at anti-kickback pawls, and as David E. did, a gratuitous action shot

My thanks go out to David Eisan once again, for helping me push
my little shop yet another step forward...great service, even better guy!

thanks for looking,
Walt
