I have a new SCM S41ES thickness planer, and despite having a 5HP Pentz system, only this machine shows signs of poor dust collection. Many chips end up on the planer bed, and as subsequent pieces are milled, those chips end up on the floor. There are also chips that end up on the floor from the piece being milled.

I've ruled out blast gate issues, as I disconnected the 5" hose and confirmed that the air flow is really, really strong. I opened things up to have a look and don't see any obstructions around the DC port or sleeve.

Wondering how to resolve this scenario, perhaps someone else has experienced this.

Thanks,

Ned
