Title: Feeding problems galore
Review: Bought the planer mid-summer 2004. Before the end of the year the planer began requiring "help" to keep the boards moving. Periodically it would just hang, burning the board. A quick nudge was needed to continue feeding.Normal maintenance includes cleaning the rollers. The manual says to use a scotch pad and soapy water. I also adjusted the outfeed roller per the manual. This would fix the problem for a while, but it would slowly go back to its old ways. Eventually it gets so bad it requires a constant pushing or pulling to get the boards to feed continuously. Dangerous, frustrating, and leads to poor results. The finish when it works is amazing, but I have found the machine to be a poor substitute for a heavier duty unit. I am only a hobbyist, building boxes and some small furniture.
