I recently purchased an A3-31 planer/thicknesser. I have hardly used it so far. I've done a tiny bit of jointing which works a treat. I thicknessed a few small pieces of blackwood recently, only taking off bare minimum, and worked beautifully.
Today I was doing some jarrah floorboards, again only a couple of small pieces. Straightened them on the jointer no problem. But when thicknessing, sometimes the board goes through effortlessly and the other board just won't get pulled through. At first I had to push it myself until it gripped intermittently. In the end one of the boards just stopped half way through and I couldn't even push it forward.
When I feed the wood into the machine it doesn't seem to take hold of it easily, I have to give it a good push to get it to engage the timber, is that normal? When the board got stuck I was only taking off a millimetre around 14mm down to 13mm.
Any advice?
