Bauer planer motor replacement

[@joek511]

Had mine for over 2 years. hundreds of board feet through her. Oaks', walnut , cherry , pine, cedar, you name it. Currently running Rosewood (baby crib) build. One time I got carried away, she got a bit warm. I just stopped and let her cool off. Another random thing I have happen is the feed rollers slipping. No idea why. Run a board, grab another and no go. flip the board and it works.

Good to know and see what to do. Just bought a Bauer planer- haven’t used it yet (maybe today or tomorrow) so I’m saving this for later. Thank you!

Shouldn't have a problem unless your like me a get greedy on the cut depth.

I have the same planer and really like it. After a few years of use it's started to make a terrible high pitch grinding sound. I'm guess it's a bad bearing. Of corse there's no video's out there to help but with your's I can see how to tear into it. Thanks.

Glad it will help

Thanks. I m not getting any drive roller action, so I will tale off that chain cover to find the problem.

Hope the video helps. Your welcome

@ I ordered the drive gear box. The same roller as yours froze to the pillow block but I was able to get them apart. The pillow block should be made of graphited plastic ,graphited bronze ,maple, or lignin vitea . It just takes a speck of rust or dirt or wood dust to make this crash. If it was preloaded with oiled felt it might last longer.

$88 isn’t bad compared to Dewalt over 200

High dollar yellow plastic, lowes had craftsman planer for 299 new in the box, it took me over 2 hours due to me not really knowing what to do, but now I think I could swap the motor in 15 minutes.
