Delta Planer 22-580

This little planer has developed feeding problems. Seems like when I'm planing stock, the feed rollers feed and stop every 6 inches, then we have to push, and then get another 6 inches and another stop.....
Strange. When there's no load, we can see the roller turning just fine.
Anybody have similar problems?
Thanks in advance--
Dave

Try cleaning off the rollers with some alcohol. Also, try waxing the bed and tables.

Brake Fluid

Not sure if this really applies, if anyone thinks this is dangerous/inappropriate don't hesitate to say so. I know that when I use to have to deal with laser jet printers the rollers would often get hard and dry after a lot of use and rubbing on a light coat of brake fluid then immediately rubbing it off did a pretty good job at making them tacky/soft enough they could returning to normal operation. I'm not sure if this would work with a planer's rollers or not but may be worth considering.

If the roller cleaning doesn't work, open up the side and see if you have a gear with a couple of missing teeth.
