A buddy has one of the DeWalt two speed planers. I’ll try that next week.find a friend with a planer that has a byrd head. Your probably too far to bring it to my shop or I'd do it for ya
I have a typical problem with my DeWalt 13 & 1/2" planer. After research I learned it is the drive is skipping. I can get replacement bushings. Gonna give that a try
