Hi all:

I've run a few pieces through my planer. It machines beautifully and
doesn't seem to heat up too much or dull the blades any faster than
wood does. However, the planer shavings become statically charged and
stick to everything (planer, me, etc.)

Regards,
John.

Jim,
Keep us posted if you do anything. I am very curious to see how well
this stuff can be machined & what toll it would take on any equipment blades
(ie jointer, planer). My brother has asked if I could make him some Mission
Style patio chairs using some type of composite material that requires no
maintenance, but I have been too chicken to try.

Has anyone else out there tried? What was the result? (I suspect dull
blades).

Thanx
Doug

Any thing neat to make with Trex scraps (8 to 18 inches in length)?

thx - jim



I've mostly wondered if it might heat up while going through the planer, and
then I'd end up with melted plastic everywhere :/

Holy smokes, there's a lot of Johns in here!
