FUZZY GRAIN — Grain fibers stand up on the
workpiece after planing. 

• Do not surface damp or wet wood, check

it with a moisture meter. Anything over 

20% should be allowed to dry.

• Install sharp knives.

GLOSSY SURFACE — The wood is scorched,
blackened, and/or glossy. 

• Remove all resin or glue build-up on the

rollers and the cutterhead, and surface 

acceptable wood.

• Install sharp knives so shallow cuts do not

have to be made to compensate for dull 

knives that burn the wood. If this is the 

case and the condition has existed for a 

long time, the knives may be damaged as

a result and cannot be turned. The knives

must be replaced.

• If knives are sharp and a glossy surface 

still results, increase the cutting depth.

THERMAL SWITCH POPS — The planer motor
overheats and shuts off automatically.

• Push the reset button in when the planer

completely cools down. 

• Make shallower cuts.

• Remove all resin or glue build-up on the

rollers and the cutterhead. Often resin or

glue build-up can over-heat the planer by

decreasing the cutter sharpness while 

increasing drag in the feed mechanism.

• Install sharp knives.

• Surface acceptable stock.

WOOD DOES NOT FEED CORRECTLY — The
planer draws wood in erratically or slowly.

• Plane wood that is not twisted or warped

• Remove any pitch build-up on the feed 

rollers.

• Turn or replace  the knives if they are 

dull or broken.

Planing results are affected by the species and
condition of the wood, how the planer is setup,
and the condition of the knives. The following
characteristics are some common problems and
the solutions woodworkers might have while
planing.

SNIPE — More material is being removed from
board ends rather than the middle of the board. 

• Provide more support on the infeed and 

outfeed sides so the wood travels 

completely through the planer without 

any vertical tilting. This alignment 

problem occurs with all planers to some 

degree. 

• Hold the workpiece flat against the 

planer tables and rollers so the board 

does not tilt while entering and exiting 

the planer. 

• Install extra roller stands. 

• Raise the table/ lift the board ends. 

CHIP MARKS — Chips are not being properly
expelled from the cutterhead. The chips get
caught between the knives and the workpiece
and hinder knife cutting ability. Chip marks
usually appear as random and uneven. 

• Unclog the chip deflector blockage and 

correct for cause of blockage. 

• Increase cleaning intervals. 

• Install a dust collector.

CHIPPED GRAIN — Grain shows cut marks and
chips. 

• Do not plane against the grain. 

• Do not plane wood with knots or cross 

grain. 

• Use sharp knives. 

• Make  shallower cuts. 

• Surface acceptable stock.
