Thank you! This is a great video. When you search "Install Wixey Digital Planer Gauge" you wind up with videos that are 25 minutes long with tons of commentary. Some of us just want a good example of how to install, and this one gets right to the point! Well done, Sir. Thanks again.

Great supplement for the instruction, it really helped loads. My only suggestion is for folks that have already bolted their planers down to NOT use the leveling screw. By the time it’s suggested to remove it, you’ll have to unbolt the planer to get it out. :) thanks for a great install video.

So two questions #1: should the measuring bar just drop down on it's on with the spring tension? No matter how much I adjust the screws as soon as I start to tighten them it no longer freely moves, it is kind of bound and I have to push it down. The manual says it should come down on on with spring tension. #2: Once I have everything calibrated I do not want to raise or lower the height unless the digital readout is on correct? I assumed that if I moved the height when the digital readout was off it wouldn't be correct when I turned it on right.

Sorry for the delayed response. I set it to 3/4" when I set up the ruler part. At some point (off camera) i switched to a smaller dimension (probably 1/2") to do my final calibration since it requires a few passes through the planer. That would be the reason why it's less than 3/4" I did find it accurate, though.

Thanks for the video- it was helpful. A question, though... if you measure the newly planed test board to calibrate the Wixey ON THE END of the board, aren't you likely measuring some snipe (and thus getting a slightly lower measurement)?. Do you think it would be good to cut the test board back a few inches and measure the non-sniped thickness of the board? I know on my old planer, I ALWAYS had to deal with snipe. I believe the DeWalt 735 typically has a bit, too...
@byTravis

I have the wing extensions minimize the snipe pretty well. But I think you might be right. Measuring from the center might be more accurate.
@LDBecker
7 жыл бұрын
I also have the wing extensions - and I still got a noticeable amount of snipe. I could minimize it by supporting the wood as it entered and exited the planer, but it was still there. I did a bit of testing on the measurement, and it seems more accurate more toward the middle of the piece - certainly past the 3" of potential snipe. I'm sure it will be better when I get used to the planer - but I am so impressed with the finish coming off the planer. I used the slow speed, and it is better than anything I got off of my old jointer/planer, a Robland XSD310 -a 220V MONSTER. I never liked the 1 speed planer part of it, but it IS cool to have a 12" jointer... The DeWalt is already showing itself to be light years ahead of the Robland, and the Wixey WR510 makes it now digitally accurate. I also have the Wixey attachment for my table saw - also very cool. Thanks again for the instructional video - it really helped!

I haven't changed the knives yet. I still have the factory installed knifes. I don't use it a ton, so they're still good. When I do replace, I'll just use the standard Dewalt knives. I think they'll be fine for what I do with them.
