20 Most Recent Dewalt heavy - duty6" right angle random orbit sanderwith electronic variable speed DW443 - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Couple of things to check:
1. Are your knives sharp? Dull knives will cut not fast enough to keep up with the rollers.
2. What is the depth of cut? Dewalt's planers cannot plane a board to excessive depths.
3. Are you rollers clean? Dirt, pitch or possibly grease could affect your feed rate.
4. The belt/chain for your rollers engaged or are they slipping? Open up the planer and check for wear or possibly broken belt/chain.
Snipe is usally caused by improper support while exiting the planer. Use outfeed rollers set to the correct height. Also chek that you outfeed bed is aligned with the bed of the planer.
Hope that helps,

I would think feed rollers, but if you say they are in good shape then I would look for proper adjustment of the blades

If you're using a hook and loop sanding pad (velcro), most likely the hooks have worn out and the pad needs to be replaced. They are available from this website, if you can't find them locally.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

OK you need to go to Dewaltservicenet.com and in the middle of the page at the bottom type in your model number it will take you to another page and then find your type number and click on the instruction manual section on the right side, I clicked on type 2. This manual is about 30 pages long. Let me know if you still need help and if I have helped could you please rate the answer accordingly. Good luck

You are going to have to pull the side cover off this thing to get to the roller. I think it is spring loaded and stuck. Could be a chunk of wood up in there. Bubinga isn't exactly spruce. The stuff is like a rock. Does it only snipe as it exits the planer? Or the whole way? I'm surprised the front roller doesn't hold. Take off the one side that is stuck, look for a big sliver or chunk wedged up in there and spray some wd 40on it to try and loosen up the spring tension. If not, just look to see what kind of adj if any is there. The planers come apart fairly easy and are easily maintained. Check it out, hope this helps.

Part number for the driver by itself is 623243-00 and is available from dewalt or www.toolpartsdirect.com. The driver kit is no longer available and the gun has been discontinued. Driver kit contained other parts including gasket, lube and likely the lower bumper. Good luck

I would wonder if it isn't the batteries? Often this type of problem is simply them.
If after you replaced the batteries with "Known Good" ones, and it still faults, then it;s either a sticking drive actuator, or the Electronics driving the striker has failed...
The ONLY people who can or are able to service this are Dewalt, please contact a local or head office, and ask for a referral to a local service agency.
Of course, always ask for a "Quote" before proceeding with any repair.

Do you have the blade set gauge that came with the planer? It is a little metal thing that looks like a bottle opener with 3 feet on it? Anyway, you need one, you can buy one at the Dewalt web site or where you got the planer. What it does is set the knives all to the same depth, every time, you can't miss. It rides on the drum, with the blades on the leveling screws, and a wrench in one of them, the jib in place, just snug, not tight, you lift each end of the knife up to just touch the gauge, then snug it up, move to the other end, and do the same thing, then to the middle, then back to make sure it is still on it's mark, If it comes up too far, and grabs the gauge, knock it down with a piece of wood, then move to the next knife, get them set all the same, then torque the jib screws up real tight. Give it a try. Hope this helps.

I don't know how much help you require downloading the manual, but if you click the 'download the entire manual' link on that page I gave you, you can probably figure it out. I have confidence in you.

I'm having the same problem, I replaced the drive chain & sprockets but the problem has reapeared.

Hello. If your planer was working before you installed new brushes, then definitely. If the planer was purchased used, and it has never worked, it could be the brushes but more likely the motor is burned out. These planers are not commercial workhorses and some people use them that way. For instance, these little motors are designed to remove about 1/16 of an inch of material at a time, not 1/4. If you can not get it up and running take it or ship it to the nearest Dewalt service center.

Not without making changes to the studs framinng the window, especially above it. You have to continue to support the wall (and the upstairs and the roof) above the window.

the knives may not be completely square on the cutter head, which may cause wider boards to track due to uneven depth of planing. if the rollers are worn or perhaps crooked somehow, this can also cause tracking of boards. same thing for the base, if it is worn, bent, or otherwise not setting properly it can also cause the boards to move like that.
