- DGDaniel GrijincuAug 25, 20255.0Ken-B-Done team has proved to be knowledgeable, courteous and pleasant when they serviced my machines and helped me solve issues with my compressor.
- RORobert OrtizJul 7, 20255.0I have had a wood working business for 39 years. Recently two of my machines ( a 36” wide belt sander and a planer ) unexpectedly needed to be repaired. Ken-B-Done came highly recommended by one of the loggers that I do business with. I could not have been happier with every aspect of having him work on my machines. He is knowledgeable, efficient, organized, punctual and able to clearly explain what needs to be done and how he’s going to do it!

Excessive compressor operation may indicate water infiltration due to damaged fittings or lines, incorrectly sized pipes, or a need for compressor maintenance. These issues should be addressed promptly to ensure optimal performance.
Why does a wide belt sander belt not last long?
A wide belt sander's belt may have a shortened lifespan due to improper setup, uneven sanding heads, or damaged rolls and platen bars. Addressing these issues can help extend the belt's durability.

Understanding proper machine operation is crucial for employee safety, product quality assurance, prevention of equipment damage, proper maintenance, and maximizing the machine's capabilities.

OSHA lockout/tagout procedures are essential for worker safety, identifying power sources (air, hydraulic, electric, gas, etc.), preventing accidents, and ensuring machines are not inadvertently started during maintenance or repair work.
