I have a DW735 planer that I have primarily used to thickness plane down to 1/4"-3/4" lumber. The depth turret is graduated down to 1/8th" It would seem to me that at that height, the knives are getting awfully close to the planer bed. As thin as I have planed is 1/4".
Has anyone ever thickness planed down to an 1/8" and would it be wise to use a planer sled if you need stock that thin? (No. I haven't talked the LOML into getting a drum sander..............yet! ....Have been watching Travis Porter's thread and don't think I am ready to risk that request just yet!!!:gar-Bi:gar-Bi:gar-Bi)
Just curious.
Thanks,
Wayne
