Hey guys! Some of you might remember when I went to the
Grizzly scratch and dent sale here in Wa. I picked up this planer,
http://www.grizzly.com/products/g0453z/images/
Anyway, it was a showroom display and I'm finally in between projects and other commitments, I now have time to get this beautiful piece up and running. Today I set about getting this thing cleaned and setup.
This thing is covered in grease! Insanely covered in grease. I started wiping this down with degreaser and the main body and infeed/outfeed tables were easy enough. I started working on the "guts" and I'm taking each of the 72 cutters out and cleaning them.
I took off the pulley cover and used the pulleys to rotate the head, but how do I rotate the powered infeed and outfeed rollers?
Is this a turn it on and off kind of deal?
If I spent the time getting this all setup and there's still grease on it, could I send a few sacrificial boards thru it to catch and cleanup
any of the remaining grease?
Any tips on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Eric
