After quite a bit of research, I chose this Grizzly 20" spiral cutterhead planer at what I would consider a rather hefty price. I read some pretty good reviews on it. Its had nothing but issue after issue with the boards constantly getting hung up as they feed through.
I went back through and adjusted the table to exactly parallel with the cutterhead. I have even gone through and made certain the feed rollers, pressure bar and chipbreaker are set to .040" below the knife edge at bottom dead center. I've even tried using it at various table roller heights.
Nothing I do seems to stop the wood from hanging up on its way through. It seems to hang up on the left side worse than the right side. At times, the wood will feed about two inches past the infeed roller where it then gets completely stuck while the infeed roller digs a nice divot in the wood.
I paid extra for a spiral cutterhead, figuring that I could get rid of my 13" Dewalt planer, but guess what; my 5k plus planer is collecting dust while I continue to use my Dewalt. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?
Thanks for reading, Very frustrated, Gary
