Default Just got a planer... Anything I should know?

Don't be suprised when you start to see ridges in the out put results.
That is normal and your planer has settled into being a thicknesser
as opposed to a short lived thicknesser and finisher. You need to
sand afterwards anyway.


Shucks... I was enjoying the silky smooth output. Will the effect return
with a new set of blades? I wouldn't replace the blades to get this
effect, just curious.

Yes, it will. I have a Delta two speed and thought it was fantastic for
finishing. Until I got some wear on the blades. Still a good finish, but
far from the final finish.
