Indeed that was my first response and I suggested that to one of the ‘good; guys and he said, “that is what we tried first and they just bypassed it and kept breaking stuff. I will fix it once if they break it again then it is someone’s problem. One person has broken it 3 times apparently w/o any concenquences. Off the record I think severe action should be taken. Plaining boards with nail in them is not very bright either. There is also a nice sander just waiting for someone to care enuf to fix is. ;-( Apparently a true tale: the local NG unit was messing up the front end on Humvees and I aaked “how do you do that?, Oh, no problem, 10’ deep chuck hole at 70 mph. At least with a tank the drivers loses their front teeth. When people don’t own the equipment the care level tends to decrease. It is easy to get discouraged. I can understand one screwup but successive ones NOT.
The newer Jet planer is beefier. 5 hp instead of 3 hp and larger drive gears and bearings. No use buying good equipment if the idiots won’t take care of it I’’ check out that encoder. Tnx.
