I've been fighting with my planer for some time now and wanted to know if other users have a similar issue.
The problem I have is no matter what type of material, or length the planer will not feed the stock smoothly through the unit! It always stutters and sometime stops completely. I always have to either push on the stock from the input side or pull on the output side. The feed roller is definitely moving as sometime it will feed a piece about 80-90% but sometime through the run it almost always slows or stops.
One thought I've had is to add a longer planer feed table that goes completely through the unit so that I ensure the correct plane from infeed though outfeed, but haven't tried that yet.
Anyone struggle with this unit or some type issue on another brand?
