| - | ===== Instructions ===== | ||
| - | The Thicknesser is a tool designed to make wood a uniform thickness: it requires one of the faces of the wood to already be square for it to work as intended. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== NO NAILS ==== | ||
| - | Please look after the blades. A single nail in this machine will cost the Hackspace £40, that's how much it costs to replace the blades. | ||
| - | * **NO Nails** | ||
| - | * NO old wood that has previously had nails in it. (including no pallets, no matter how carefully you think you got the nails out.) | ||
| - | * NO scaffold boards or dirty wood. (Cement, dirt and grit will damage and blunt the blades.) | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Basic Guidelines === | ||
| - | * Always use the wall mounted dust extraction system. | ||
| - | * This video provides a comprehensive tutorial on how to use the thicknesser: | ||

| - | === Finishing up === | ||
| - | * Always leave the Hackspace in a better condition than you found it. | ||
| - | Planer Thicknessers make a lot of wood chips very quickly so please: | ||
| - | * Vacuum and clean the machine to remove all dust. | ||
| - | * Sweep and vacuum the floor. | ||
| - | * Check if the extractor system bag is full, and empty if necessary. | ||
| - | * Grease the slides and lead screws if they are getting stiff (tutorial below). | ||
| - | * If you have used the machine a substantial amount and blunted the blades, please replace the blades and sharpen them. | ||

| - | John H's advice: | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The leading edge is sharpened at 42 degrees and the second angle or trailing angle is 38 degrees. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Grind the blades with smooth strokes taking equal time along the whole length of the blade (don’t focus on the nail gouges otherwise you’ll never get the blades straight again) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Using smooth strokes means keeping them on the grinding wheel for a long stroke so it’s a good idea to do a few blades at once moving between blades to give them time to cool." | ||
