I finally realized my cutter head was spinning the wrong direction after 4 years on the job.
A mechanic in Baton Rouge watched me work for 5 minutes then asked if I ever wondered why my slurry lines kept clogging, and I felt like a total idiot. Has anyone else missed something this basic for that long?

Went back and re-read my machine's manual cover to cover.

Feel your pain man. Spent a whole year blaming bad materials before someone pointed out I was running a belt backwards. Fixed the direction and everything just worked right after that. Sometimes you get so locked into your routine you stop seeing the obvious stuff. That's why I try to grab a fresh set of eyes on a tough job now.
