Can I run moulding knives in my G1017 Planer?
No. There isn’t enough clearance around the cutterhead, nor is there enough adjustment in the infeed roller to run moulding knives.

Will the G1017 run on 220 volts?
No. The G1017 is designed to run on 110 volts only.

Does this machine have springs or jackscrews under the knives?
The G1017 uses jackscrews under the knives.

What type of feed rollers does it have?
The machine is equipped with rubber feed rollers.

What are the CFM requirements for a dust collector?
CFM requirements vary based on distance, wood moisture, and depth of cut. For a distance of 10 feet or less, a dust collector with 450 CFM might suffice. However, bigger is always better for effective dust collection.

Will this planer bog down on hardwoods?
No. Despite its small size, it has been tested on tough hardwoods and performs well without bogging down.

What are the replacement knives?
The replacement knives for the G1017 planer are G1195.
