    Problem with Dewalt 733 Planer

    My Dewalt 733 planer has been a consistent workhorse for me. Last year I changed the blades and resharpened the old set and it worked fine -- until today. I think the problem is with the front roller. The blades are spinning. The belt driving them is on tight. But wood I place in the planer, just won't move past the front roller. That is, if I'm planing 3/4" piece, it'll either slide through without touching the blade if I have the depth set at 13/16. But if I go to 11/16, I can't get the wood past the front roller to reach the blades. I can't find anything in the instruction manual on how to fix it or what to look for. Any help? Thank you in advance.

    Never mind. A sprocket driving the rollers broke. I ordered a new part.
