I am very curious here about a decal approach for the frieze - it would allow variance of color for the background and would allow you to apply the same finish you wish on top of the decals for a match to the hulls finish

Hey Chuck - don’t miss this place in New Orleans - Napoleon House. Great Gumbo and Muflettas. The place has history - originally they wanted to spring Napoleon from Elba and move him here but he died first. Favorite bar in New Orleans - have a Pims Cup !

ChrisLBren got a reaction from Canute in Proxxon Planer DH40 Issue
It’s fixed !!!! Thanks Greg - this tool works really well in conjunction with the Byrnes Thickness sander - I’m still getting a tiny bit of chipping - but it’s much more efficient to use the planer to reduce stock and finish off with the Brynes tool.
My French Pear could be the culprit - I do notice it has a tendency to chip when carving if not careful - it’s pretty wood though

Hi Greg,
The Proxxon customer service just re sent me the manual which is nebulous - if you can send me a quick pic of your blades in position - would really help me and any other owners of this machine on MSW. Thanks - hope you had a nice holiday.

Ill call them Greg - thanks ! The manual is very poor so maybe they can help. There is a screw near the top of the unit that opens a door on the top - if you get a chance to take a quick photo that may really be helpful. I know the issue here is the height of the blades.

I think the blades aren’t high enough on the drum - the unit grabs the wood with the auto feed but doesn’t cut. So obviously the screws that set the blade shouldn’t be flush with the drum slot. I love this tool and am hoping to get it working again with the new blades

Any tips changing out the blades ? I got a new set and for some reason I’m having a difficult time getting them to the right height

Thanks for the feedback ! I read in the manual that the blades can be reversed if they are dull or simply replaced for 10 dollars. I agree Greg - I love this machine it works really well in conjunction with the Byrnes Thickness Sander but much more efficient to dimension wood.

Hey Chuck - as a fellow small business owner - not sure if you want to open this can of worms - it’s seems like there may be more downside than upside with your time and investment
