Hi,
I am setting up my new SCM 630 thicknesser and have encountered some problems with the timber feeding.
I have cleaned the table and the feed rollers appear to be in good working order.
I believe it has something to do with the rear pressure plate that sits directly behind the cutterhead.
Am I correct in saying that the pressure plate helps to reduce snipe on the ends of the timber?
When I first started the machine up, the timber got stuck on the pressure plate. Upon inspection, the pressure plate was projecting approx 10mm lower than the cutterhead. If I pushed on the pressure plate, it would move up, however, this is not easy due to the weight of the plate and the angle it was being pushed from due to sitting so low.
I readjusted it so the grub screws held it so the cutterhead was approx 2mm below the plate. This allowed timber to feed through easily, however, the timber has snipe.
I have an instructional printout of the machine. Poor pictures but I can read the text. It explains that the pressure plate needs to be set so it projects 2mm below the cutterhead. I have re-set the machine to this, however, the only way to get it to sit in this position is to tighten the grub screws and this does not allow the timber to easily pass.
1 of the grub screws looks like it is broken or worn (missing the end and looks different to it's opposing one), however, I can not see how this affects how the plate sits.
I am wondering if the pressure plate must project only 2mm below the cutterhead, but still be allowed to hinge up as the timber approaches and passes.
I hope I have made sense on this.
I have added some pics. Unfortunately, they are not very clear.
Thank you in advance,
Andrew.
