I purchased a dewalt planer (734) and i have ran a few sets of boards through and there is always one that is .20 thicker... Any reason why this would happen? It's not the end of the world as I could sand down that much between the joints on a top table for example... But my concern is why is this happening? This planer is literally a week old if that? Shouldn't it be a lot more accurate?
It seems to be every 3rd board. I used dial calipers to measure the thickness of the board that was off and it was .20 and the other board that was off was .20. I thought it was user error, so I ran it through the planer again without changing the depth, but it didn't remove any material... However, the other two boards are .20 thinner...
I really don't want to have to measure with dial calipers after getting down to my final thickness.... Is this something that just comes with the territory and you need to use dial calipers when planing to final thickness?
Thanks!
