Thread: ID planer/thicknesser & blade help please

All the parts are available from Hare & Forbes. That's the good news, the blades are a little exy though and I bought the set up jig from them also. It is a semi circular type thing that sits on the drum and sets the height of the blade above the drum. The blades are double sided so if you pull them out you may find the other edge has not been used.

Thanks for your help, can you tell me how to go about removing the blades please.

Firstly unplug the machine, don't just turn it off. There is a cover held on by allen head screws (I think) on the infeed side of the machine, remove this and rotate the head until you have a blade that you can work on. The blade is held in by a line of screws, slacken the nuts and extract the blade, the screws do not get removed. There are other adjustment screws that set the height of the blades.

The Grizzly website has lots of good manuals. Go to their site & see if there's a close match for your machine.

It's not exactly the same but close to tell me what I need to know. Thanks Rutger.

There are a number of good manuals at the Delta/Dewalt site also.

Many woodworking machines are based on designs that have been around for some time. This can be handy when you buy used gear, or some new gear with suboptimal manuals.

Good luck!
