Dewalt, planer, problem, 1/4", thickness, won't go down, issue
Every since I got this planer a couple of years ago, I could never lower the planer to plane below about 1/4" thickness.
I broke down and read the manual, which said there is a thumbwheel to set the target height. I checked it and it was already set at zero ??????????
I googled it, but found no answers.
I went back and raised the cutter head up about 4 inches. I discovered sawdust packed at each of the 4 corners by the corner supports !!!!!!! I got a screwdriver and vacuum, and cleaned all 4 corners completely.
Voila !!!!!!!!!!!! Now the planer will let me plane pieces less than 1/4" thick !!!!!!
Thanks!
