Water and Sky Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 This is for the 209-1 planer by powermatic. I'm trying to open the gearbox and it looks like the gear shift is blocking me from pulling the cover off. Its hard to take a picture of because the cover is only open an inch but there's a clutch that is connected to the gear shift thats wrapped partly around this shaft that pokes out of the middle of the cover. I tried prying the clutch off but no luck. This is a picture of the shaft that has the clutch partly wrapped around it. Any one have an idea how to get this cover off?

Water and Sky Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 After fiddling around with it, it looks like the bottom gear is stuck from pulling out because the middle gear is blocking it. I saw videos of this, it shows it just pulling out but it doesn't look like it does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water and Sky Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Edit (for another 60 minutes) Does that middle shaft come out from the cover? The one that is poking through the cover? Maybe I can beat it with a hammer to back the cover off it and expose the gears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Wish I could help but I have no experience with this machine. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I would expect that black knob to unscrew and leave a shaft that the cover can slide over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 So it’s the bearing that surrounds the shaft with the keyway in the first pic that is preventing the release? Is there some sort of a split ring that holds the bearing in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 The angle of the cover would make me echo unscrewing the black lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
