I’ve searched the www and haven’t found an answer, so I’m hoping y’all can point me in the right direction. I just rotated the carbide cutters on my planer and I’m not getting the flat, finished surface I did before.
First I tried just rotating them, but it left a pretty awful finish on the test board. So I took them all off and soaked the bits and screws in acetone, then wiped them all clean with a rag and just a touch of 30wt oil. I also cleaned the cutter head with a steel bristle brush and blew off all the debris. I figured this was meticulous enough for them to align near perfect, but I’m not happy with the results.
What did I miss? Is there a standard method for aligning them to get a better surface finish?
