GMC PT330 Planer Blueprint

[rbrading]

First post - fingers crossed.

Recently tipped planer on its end to clear out shavings from the dust shute and low and behold a metal block fell out of the shute!

The block is 22mm long, 24mm high and 24 mm deep. It has a 15mm hole throughout and a bevel along the top edges.

Can I get some help please? Suggestions, blueprints etc? Unfortunately the Instruction Manual does not get down to this level of detail.

try this....most of the 12 1/2 thickies are similar so this might give you some clues....

Surfmat,
Thanks for the diagram. It really helped me understand the purpose of the piece. I also tried Grizzly.com and it looks like I will be able to buy any needed parts.
