    Old Powermatic Planer - replace rollers with rubber? Boards getting stuck.

    I finally upgraded the cutterhead on this 16” 5hp powermatic. I’ve had the cutterhead for over a year and worried about the complexity of the install. Wasn’t that hard actually with the right tools.

    After following the manual and YouTube’s, I set all the rollers and pressure bar to specs. Boards are going in and getting stuck with about 3-4” left.

    Any ideas?

    what would it cost to have the serrated front roller and rear roller covered in rubber or replaced with rubber? Thinking that may prevent the lines from serrated roller and aid in more grip on the outfeed.

    I think I read the serrated infeed roller would have to have the serrations machined off before covering in rubber.
