- This makita planer was sent in by a regular customer who is a quality Profesional woodworker. So he knows his tools well.
He found has makita dkp181 planer was vibrating a lot and thought the bearings needing changed, so he dropped it in for repair.
and right he was.
The bearing had not failed, but if left, they would eventually start to fail and cause damage to the planer.

I’ve used grease and paper towel driven inside a blind bearing with a punch and hammer on my miter saw (metal housing). The paper towel takes up the gap and drives the grease in which pushes the bearing out. I’ll keep the air trick in mind to try first as it’s less messy. Thanks for your video’s Dean. Very informative and relaxing to watch!
Many times clutch pilot bearings are removed from the crankshaft by doing this with simple white bread. Keep packing it inside the center and pound center with a tight fitting punch to force out pilot bearing. I've heard of thick grease used also. 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩🛢️

@@tdotw77 Generally I have grease on hand over bread haha. But good to know.
You know this video was made before that long fix marathon, cause your finger is still intact from that hedge trimmer 😂
You are a genius dean, using the air line to hydraulic the bearing out. I was thinking about a grease gun, which is always messy - Air is much better.🖖
Advice for owners of Makita planers...buy a Makita D-07951 HM knife set with steel holders.
These holders, which are included in the planer are made of ordinary sheet metal and have two prongs that hold the HM knife. When the knife is under load, because it only presses on two points, it bends, and so the shavings get under...YES - UNDER THE KNIFE!!! this results in knife breakage (as happened with this machine) and uneven wood surfaces. The mentioned steel holders in the D-07951set have a notch that holds the HM knives along their entire length and prevents the knives from bending and breaking. The set is ridiculously cheap and only approx. 4-5€ more expensive than a set of only HM knives. Many sellers don't even know that there are steel holders in this set, because they look like HSS knives... but they are not😄... I highly recommend them!😃👍
Thats the problem sometimes with Makita website, when you click on the accessories for a tool, it will show some, but will not show all compatible. For example my DVC750 vaccum site doesnt show adapter for the hose to make it different diameter, but, if you go to safety and work without dust tab and put my model in, they will show you compatible accessories for it.
That's a very good tip.
Those blades and holder set are even available on amazon.
They are much better than the factory fitted ones.

@@deandohertygreaser Here in Slovenia, at one online retailer €7.99...dirty cheap...maybe because many people don't know what it is exactly...you have to search a bit and find it...because there is another identical set with an older catalog number ...you might have luck with old accessory catalogs etc...
Estimado exelentes sus videos enseñan mucho saludos desde chile ..
Cómo se llama esa grasa que utiliza ?
@@danielreyes8334 Utiliza grasa Bosch o Hilti.
great content checking out the back catalogue while on break
It's got the shakes 😵💫 Dr. Dean Doherty to the O.R. STAT !!! 🤣
Sometimes when you are introducing the tool, I find myself saying Ah yes one of those, even though most of these tools I’ve never seen or used 😂
These full teardown videos are great!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and tips Dean. Enjoy your time off.
Hello, every time I watch any of your videos I learn something new, thank you, and keep up the great work!!
I've learnt so many cool tricks from your videos!
Nice job Dean. Great watchin these videos ta learn more things
Just a tip Dean, the plastic dustport covers can be removed simply by twisting so the tab unclips from the notch. That's how Makita designed it, no scredriver needed and less chance of breaking the tab. I have this machine and love it, but I probably don't use it as hard as the fellow that owns this one.
You could upgrade that blade holder to the older one which holds the whole blade instead of three points.
A great review and repair all in one very helpful
for removing something that stuck and you cant hook it from other side- good way is small taps from that way its need to go - startor in this case will move out
I’ve been meaning to ask what brand of bearing puller are you using? Thank you!
Hi Dean I just have a question of what cordless tool platform you would recommend between Makita and Dewalt for a heavy duty mechanic
Tools required would be a high torque impact, 5 inch grinder, medium size drill and a compact impact gun
Ive looked at DeWalt and like the power for the size of them but watching your videos ive seen the Makita's build quality
Would you say the DeWalt's are as reliable as the Makita's and around the same in ways of repairing for the selection of tools listed above
Just keen to hear your thoughts or suggestions if you got time cheers.
Samuel you know a 40v XGT 3/4" nut gun is the way stop with this foolishness
I'm not a mechanic but a carpenter & joiner of over 35 years experience (and still going). You''ve narrowed it down to the correct two players and both are good value for money. I went yellow because they seem a little cheaper but Makita are very good too. My dewalt planer was £100, this Makita is 300 euro but it's not 3 X better. Don't touch Milwaukee, they're shite.
Makita is quite nice to repair compared to DeWalt in spare parts availability I think they are better overall, you can get quite a lot of part from Makita
@@kevinchamberlain7928 I've purchased knock off Makita tools that use the battery platform. I got a brushed planer for $65. It's at least half as good as the name brand, but 1/5th the price.
If I have buy it 3 times over my lifetime I still come out ahead.
First of all check their warranty service in your country for both. Secondly in case of repair of a tool which warranty ended its clear win for Makita as DeWalt started to use same scummy business as Milwaukee that to fix a part you need to buy a set.
Good overview is also lookup UA-cam channels of actual Heavy Duty mechanics, though youll mostly get American ones, which will be a Milwaukee, Ridgid or DeWalt brands, cause its "Murican brands". Makita seems to find best of durability, longevity and power, where for example Milwaukee always goes power hungry and then you need to replace the tool.
I would also look into their overall line of tool, so you can get things like a cordless fan or a vaccum for not only mechanic work.
Honestly, apart from the spare parts department, you couldnt go wrong with either of the brands, but for me with the LXT and now XGT lineup Makita is still the brand to go with.
Is that tool for setting the blade stickout universal? Just wondering as my planer didn't come with one 🤔
I"m asking you a favor: a link to a website where I can find your bearings extractor. Thank you.
The bearing puller is possibly a Laser 3475. They should be on Amazon.
@@michaelfairchild Thank you.
The puller Dean uses is from Sykes Pickavant but the Laser 3475 looks and probably is exactly the same.
What brand of bearing puller is that? I'd really like to try that one out.
Thanks
The bearing puller is possibly a Laser 3475.
If a factory makita service centre needed to replace these bearings, would they press them off or just buy the part with the bearing on it already?
If the repair demand is high, then they would possibly just replace the whole part to save time. Old part would be later on possibly refurbished, if its not damaged.
Only point where they would replace the bearing would be quite expensive parts like the armature.
Does anyone know what he uses to clean the guts of these tools?
@@trevorway3336 Aircompressor for dust and a parts washer with Kerosine as the cleaning agent to remove oil and grease.
He uses a parts washer which has kerosene in it for cleaning fluid. He just did a video on cleaning it out of you're curious. 👌🏻👍🏻🛠️
Hello. New subscribe here. Im about to buy a new hammer drill.
What is the best between makita hr4003c, bosch gbh 5-38d and milwaukee k540s? Thank you.
Hr4003 js lighter but nicer to use.
The bosch gbh5-40 is powerful but will need a service every few years to keep it good.
The milwaukee is a waste of money.
For the makita and bosch, if either every need a new motor. The makite can be changed out 100 euro, the Bosch would cost 300.
I'd go with the makita, it's a good machine, very popular, a little more money to buy, but can easily last decades as regular service and repair are a good price
Enjoy your holiday make a trip to South Africa while it's still possible. From Dewalt fan 😂😂😂😂😂. Jee I hope Makita pays you for all the advertising if not the need to start...............👀
189€ in Germany ✌
233 Euro in Poland. No wonder Ive started to buy Wiha, Wera and Knipex from German Amazon. Though 44Euro less is not worth the warranty problem.
Actually Makita will repair any tool in Europe regardless of the country of origin when it is within factory warranty (EU Makita tools all come from the same factory)
@@ElMariachi1337 Not really, you get them from factories in China, Romania, United Kingdom or Japan. Makita have loads of factories. From my information only tools bought in my home country will be fixed.
When the plane is off bearing you can't fly straight and those on board will be out of kilter...especially if they're Scottish...ok I know...but it made me laugh so there neener
