Shopsmith planer
I have to change the blades of my planer, I have the blades ready to be replaced but I found a very difficult obstacle, when trying to unscrew one of the set screws that hold the blade in place, I have used a considerable torque to unscrew it and it looks like it is welded I dont want to break anything applying brute force and I ask for help if somebody knows how to soften this little set screw .
Have ya tried some penetrating fluid on it yet?
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop.

Is WD-40 considered penetrating oil? Yes I have used it and nothing happened still the same stubborness, some body told me to use heat with a torch but I am reluctant to do it in my planer, it is a very good planer.

WD-40 is not the best penetrating fluid. Try some PB Blaster from Lowes or better yet some Gibbs. http://www.getgibbs.com/

Adding acetone and shaking vigorously(a mixture in a smaller container) may speed it up! Patience IS a virtue!

Loved the pictorial responses
You guys crack me up!! The pictorial plug for Kroil, followed by the "tow thumbs up" rebuttal was EXCELLENT!! I needed that laugh, and agree with both suggestions.

I am just curious, how long has that can of kerosene been in the family?:DJPG40504 wrote:Cost effective alternative!:D
