I am asking for guidance on how to evaluate my SS thickness planer. My project is to plane black walnut. I am having difficulty taking any more off than about a 1/8th turn, which I believe is about a 1/128th. A 1/4 turn is 1/64th. Is there a rule of thumb for determining when the planer blades need ...

Thanks everyone. I see that my weekend is now spoken for.

Sorry. The blade unit, not just the blade, vibrates, working its way up into the housing. It just started all of a sudden. When under load, much more pronounced. Sort of feels like wheels out of round.

The vibration occurs when cutting, or when under load. It feels as if there is something out of round. The entire unit shakes. When the cutting stops, the the shaking stops. The is a slight shaking when not cutting.

I accidentally posted the same message multiple times. How do I delete?

For the first time, my bandsaw starting vibrating. What is anyone's diagnosis?

I wonder why all of a sudden?

I work in Dallas and have a truck. If anyone needs help loading the SS, let me know.
