After sharpening the knives in the thickness planer I broke it real good.

Not sure what started the chain of events, pun intended, but in the end the shaft out of the gear box split at the keyway, the sprocket on it broke, the chain snapped and the shaft of the recently replaced feed roller broke. So I have to say I broke it real good, and for no apparent reason. First check on line was $500 american for parts and shipping. OUCH.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
