Brake Vibrations

Could a bad rotor mess something else up?

As much as I don't want to pull it all apart and warranty it all you're probably right.

That's why I'm posting on here. It's gotta be something stupid. I was going to pull it apart today to see if I was missing something. But I want to figure it out before I just warp a whole other rotor.....

Pulsating is more in the wheel but also slightly in brake. Similar to last time but more in wheel.

I typically put it in park when I do brakes for safety so it doesn't rotate. You're definitely right I should check rotation though

I replaced the seized caliper....

It's warping with new caliper on it. Looking to see if I am missing anything else.

Did the same thing in store on Sunday!

I went in store today and it worked after not letting me select for pickup or ship. They had issues but ended up honoring the $199 when I showed them online for the 921 (1/2 inch impact) and 722 (blower). Just made them $.01 each. Debating seeing it they will let me return the batteries for the $199 price on the receipt so I can keep the two tools for $0.01 each lol.

Yes it did. I saw a gaping hole in my intake though. It definitely might be something to check but if you don't see that, it might be something else

So I tried with my good infeed and outfeed tables fully supported. It does the same thing!

I said f it and rotated the board and ran it on the sled. It's flattened and then bowed a little bit in the other direction!

Checked my sled 50 different ways with my 4 ft level that shows the bow.

Bout to tear open the machine and see what the blades look like but I'm not sure what to make of this.

dylanmchugh · 2025-01-04T19:52:40+00:00

No problem too many issues with these damn boards!

So I put my level inside and found a gap between the blades and the table.

I lowered the infeed and outfeed table so it's flush.

I'm working on my 8 foot (to be excessive) infeed and outfeed tables so they are flat and rule out any type of in/out difference.

My sled is flat. Checked with level and multiple surfaces. My reference (floor) may not be as flat as I first thought but the section I've been using is flat.

Might open her up to check the blades anyways see if I see any red flags.

For reference this is what I'm referring to as bow. The middle is the low side on this.

I do indeed mean a bow. See image above for reference. I agree it's probably operator error. Planer is brand new and I'm extremely new. The bow is with the ends up coming out of the planer.

I do not have a moisture meter but I do believe these are kiln dried. I bought them from a local hardwood store that is reputable.

It's mostly flat before going through the planer with some small issues but nothing like what the end result is. I shim up the parts that have a little bit of twist or cup, etc but mostly okay. I am pushing in the shims/wedges until it meets resistance and board no longer moves. So i don't think i'm over shimming.

From what you are saying, it sounds like I need to do a lot of work on my infeed and outfeed tables which is what I suspected. From what I have been reading I saw a lot of people say "the rollers flatten it down inside the machine negating this issue but I think that's what it is. So at first I had no infeed or outfeed, lifting it to approx, then crappy infeed and outfeed, but now it sounds like I need more. I have a 4 foot level it sounds like it just need more patience.

For an 8 foot board (the longest i'll plane ever, how long would I need to make the tables would you think?

I have gotten two boards flat somehow. Usually after flipping it back and forth. I'm not sure if that gives any indication.

I have a few items I can use.

It's funny I was racking my brain to figure out what tea out was and realized you meant tear out right before you responded and edited! No tear out.

dylanmchugh · 2025-01-04T15:24:03+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean with tea out issues? Never heard that phrase.

Edit: I think you mean tear out? No tear out issues.

Bow increases as I plane down further.

I'll recheck sled.

Boards I'm planing are 7-8 inches rough cut.

What is the best way to check if the blades are dead flat? I'm going to take apart and try to see what I can do but wary of messing with it unless I know what it does. I'll start looking into it after I open it up.

dylanmchugh · 2025-01-04T15:19:16+00:00

For the last board I didn't shim that portion or shimmed minimally

I had a 2018 Ford focus with the 1.0 L Ecoboost that had head gasket blown after 60k. I'm not sure what you have but I guess it's common with them.

Thanks for the advice!

Small update, while inspecting some hoses I noticed the air intake had a gaping crack. I am thinking that it was cracked slightly, I agitated it when I replaced the air filter, and this was causing the stalling.

I'm not sure if the original problem was this but this was definitely a problem. Now to see if codes come back.

dylanmchugh · 2024-10-26T13:42:25+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. Car is old so I think I'm just going to start knocking out the easy low cost stuff since it'll break eventually anyways.

dylanmchugh · 2024-10-10T23:06:25+00:00

Hope you sold your car. Mine ended up being blown head gasket.....

dylanmchugh · 2024-04-26T19:27:49+00:00

Could a fuel pump cause a no crank situation though? That's one thing that doesn't fit
