Companion planers are known for their rugged durability and exceptional performance. The 20-inch Companion planer can plane lumber up to 20-inches wide and 8-inches thick using a 4-blade cutter head. When your Companion planer isn't working right, find the repair parts you need to fix the problem at Sears PartsDirect.
Partially cover the sharpening stone with paper to prevent table scratches.
Position the infeed table to the sharpening stone contacts the blade along its beveled surface.
Stroke the stone across the blade from one side to the other while moving the stone slowly in the feed direction.
Perform the same amount of sharpening strokes on each blade.
Maintaining your Companion planer
Rotate or replace the knife blades often on your Delta planer. Unplug the planer to disconnect electrical power before making any adjustments or replacing parts.
Regularly blow out all air passages in the planer with compressed air to keep the planer running smoothly.
Clean all plastic parts with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Never use solvents to clean the plastic parts of the planer. Solvents can dissolve or damage plastic planer parts.
Periodically tighten all nuts, bolts and fasteners on the planer. Check for loose fasteners if you hear unusual noises when using the planer. Unusual noises often indicate that fasteners are loose.
