Hello Everybody,
I recently purchased a new Grizzly planer (G0453PX) which works very well by the way. They recommend that the gearbox oil is changed every 25 hours if I recall. I'd like to try to follow the maintenance schedule closely since I hope this planer lasts for a very long time. I was thinking about hanging a log sheet on the side of it and trying to be disciplined enough to write down the usage times every time I use it. But I don't know how practical that is.
Yesterday I started thinking about trying to rig up an electric hour meter to track the hours that the motor is running. I looked on line and see some options that might work. I'm wondering how others handle the tracking of usage hours and if anyone has done something similar?
Thanks.
Charlie
