Makita planer busted w/pic

[Kicbak]

I was planing some of the QSWO I got from Scott when I I started having major gouges out of the wood. Got a look at the blades and saw this..



Something got under the blade and once it bulged a little it kept growing. I had to spend $60 and order new metal brackets that hold the blade. I tried to bend it back in shape but it still happened. Make sure there is nothing between the blade and the planer head!!!!!
