HI everyone.

I have a 22-560 Delta 12.5" planer. I bought it a couple years ago but dont do that much woodworking.

It recently started to "slip" on the wood. Do I need to change the rollers ??? or just have them cleaned ??? What should I use to clean it ??? I just raise the head at 6", and naturally unplug the beast ;-), and clean the rollers in place ??? I dont pass much softwood trough it, mainly harwood, also the original knives (original side) are still doing a very good job (nice finish).

Another one on the same theme, the nut holding the pulley on the cutter shaft got loose a couple of times, it cost me a new belt, since I replaced the belt, I applied a couple dabs of Lock-Tite on the threads and it did not loosened again. Did it happen to some of you ??? This has not affected the quality of the cut either, there was just a bad noise coming out of it, in fact the plastic cover over the belt is what kept the nut and the pulley on the arbor.....
