Default How could this happen to my poor planer?

do you sometimes push it hard for long periods?

I suspect that the blades are engineered to transfer some heat through
the cutterhead for cooling. if you pushed it hard enough to heat up
the blades and the blade warped up a little, sawdust could get in
there and the blade would lose contact and heat up faster, so the gap
would grow as the sawdust packed in and the blade heated.

or maybe that's not how it happened.


so how come you don't have a full size planer?
