How not to wax your planer bed
Attachment 215678
Apparently, having your planer at 3" is not high enough. 3 1/2" probably would have been fine. :D
So yeah, I replaced the blades on my Dewalt DW735 . . . raised the planer up to give me room to wax the bed. I put the wax on, wiped it off on one side, went around to the other, reached in to wipe the other . . .
Ouch!
That thing bled for a while!
So the new SOP for waxing will probably include raising the planer to it's max height.
3rd line in the manual for "Additional Specific Safety Rules for Planers":
- Keep hands away from the underside of the cutter head carriage
Got it . . . now. :)
