- A review and demonstration of the Powermatic 15hh Planer. Covered will be the delivery process, crate and pallet removal, assembly and a review of the startup and running sound levels. A demonstration of the cutting process and first thoughts of the machine's fit and finish, sturdiness and mobility.
Great video. The best part was the addendum at the end! It always seems that there’s the little things that need to get worked out, but after a year of using the tool, they’re forgotten!
Thank you very much for this excellent video. The delivery driver person was very nice to help you. Once again thank you.
Thank you for putting the effort into this video. We have the same planner and had to make a few adjustments to the infeed/outfeed rollers. Otherwise, the machine is wonderful.
Great video!
I have the same machine, i have had the machine for the past 5 years. I have planed all kinds of wood even clean pallet wood that was very hard. I have not had a single problem with the machine and have not yet rotated any of the cutter heads
Nice vid... Thanks for sharing
I like your old fashion editing and background music grandpa :)
Great video
I really like your video.
Well done. Good information.
Thanks Michael. I appreciate it.
Thank You kind sir… God bless
No I just cut off the old plug and added the new one. The length was ok for me. On the band saw I added a new cord and receptacle. 10 AWG 3/C
Nice video. Thanks
Thanks. I've had it a year now and haven't had an issue. I think today I would add the digital read out. I'm 70 and bending down to read that scale and get your glasses just right. Well to quote my dad... getting old... ain't for sissy's. Thanks for the comment.
Your dad was wise...
I recently bought a Shop Fox 15HH planer and I watched your video on set-up. I am trying to get the in-feed and out-feed tables level with the planer bed. It looks like all the in & out-feed tables attach the same way. I am struggling to get everything level. When I tighten up the bolts, it raises the end of the in-feed and out-feed tables. Are your tables tight with the bed of the planer or is there some play in them? Can you provide some more information and pictures if possible on how you got your in-feed and out-feed tables level? Gratefully, Mark
Does the unit make a really loud bang on startup? I just got the same planer and it runs great. But on startup there is a really loud bang noise. Googling makes it seem like this is pretty common or even normal. Thanks for posting!
Hello David. Can you show a picture of the electrical plug that comes with the HH15. I'm going to wire another 220 volt receptacle for when my planer arrives in about a month. Hopefully. I really enjoyed your video. You do a great job. Thanks Wayne H.
If I remember right you choose your own plug due to the difference in local codes or needs on mine since I use it on a rolling base. I use a twist lock receptacle and drop the power cord from the ceiling. I hate to step on cords. I do this for the Band Saw, the Jointer, and the planer.
@Turning Round I had noticed your comment in video about the twist lock. They didn't offer me any choices on plugs. Mine will have a wall right to the left of it. Ideal for a low wall outlet. I was just hoping to find out what came with it. Thankyou for your time. Wayne H.
Now you just need to add a Accurate Technologies DRO, like I did to mine. It was an awesome upgrade to this machine.
I was just given one as a gift but havent attached it yet. I believe it's a wixley.
@@turninground3511 give the Accurate Technologies DRO a look if it doesn’t work out for you. More accurate and a bigger screen. 😁👍🏻
Where can I get this planner ? Or how can I import it to Ecuador, South America? Thanks. Great video!
What settings did you use to get no snipe? I’ve tried all sorts of play with the bed leveling and bottom rollers but still get a lot of snipe at the beginning and ends of jointed boards.
Chris, snipe is in the nature of the beast. There are many tricks you will read about to help eliminate it. I find it to be greatly reduced with the helical cutter head. However I produce snipe when I take a deeper cut than I should. Soft woods can flatten easier as the indeed rollers grab hold. My best bet is to account for snipe in my plan and take light cuts. My tables are level and clean. I recheck them from time to time. I've also learned once you make a pass and it looks great if you run it through again at the same setting you pick up roller marks on the second pass. I hope this helps.
@@turninground3511 That’s unfortunate! I had my fingers crossed since you said some of those first cuts had no snipe!
So far the best bet has been to use a sacrificial board.
@@turninground3511 also, just had an idea with the rollers, tried raising the infeed and outfeed rollers to about .025 lower than cutter head and then pulling back the tension on the roller springs, a little over 1/8” backed out. As long as the bed rollers are no more than .0010 higher than bed, it seems to give very minimal snipe! At least nothing that a quick
Great video! I have one of these on order. Could you comment a little further on the electrical connection? I'd like to wire up an outlet before the planer gets here, but the manual is rather vague. You said you used a 30 amp Twist-lock plug with a 10 gauge cord. What size breaker did you use? Manual says to use a 40 amp breaker, but your Twist-lock and wire are only rated 30 amp. Did you worry about this? I know the in-rush current is much higher than the running. Also, a good shot of the motor nameplate would be helpful.
30 amp breaker is enough
Oh how I want one. They have one on sale for a little over 500 dollars.
???? what? these are in the upper 3000s range. Where are you seeing one of these for $500+???
@@stvcolwill I was looking on refurbished items on ebay
Did you have to take the driver to the ER after getting it up the driveway?
Yeah I was a little concerned about his well being.
It should have DRO at that price point.
hey does this come with a power cord? also how long is it ? thanks
It does come with a cord. About 5.5 feet. I don't remember if it had a plug. I've added a 220 twist lock as I like my power as a drop down from the ceiling. I hate stepping on cords and hoses
@@turninground3511 thanks! So you used a new cord as well? Did you use 12/3 soow for the power cord? Thank you
What kind of plug and receptacle does this need? Thx
Kevin this is a 220 plug. It will be specific to the codes in your area. Pretty general really. But you do have choices. For me I don't like cords on the floor. I drop down from the ceiling. So for that I use a twist lock plug and receptacle. You can use different types for different applications.
@@turninground3511 I really appreciate your help. I don’t know much about electrical but assuming I have a 30 amp breaker and I able to use a 6-20 plug? Thank you
Great video!
