I started a works in progress today for my cousin that sends me a couple of bucks out of the blue when i;m not expecting it but need it post haste.She wants this cross made of teak.i have lots of teak but never cut any and never planed any.First off the planer would not plan it ,just rip it to shreds.so i decided to try changing the cutting blades.I don't know how much the planer weighs but it was more than i wanted to deal with to put on my computer desk to do the job.I change the blades today twice just to make sure i did it correctly.The last guy that owned the planer stripped 4 screws , Which i had to chisel loose to do the job.All said and done the planer worked better than it's ever worked.I glued 2 pieces of teak together and put in my clamping station over night.I cut have the cross till i was to tired to do any more .Will post tomorrow.To top it all off ,i kept the planer under my dw788 for ballast..Don't you know that when i tryed to move the saw it fell over forward and the table hit the concrete first.No damage that i can see.
