Grumpy MSG Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 You a few potential causes. The first would be the shape of the actual boards you are running through the planer. If they don't have a somewhat consistent thickness they will have trouble being drawn through the by the feed rollers. The other potential problem would be damaged or dirty feed rollers. I have run a bunch of oak fence boards through mine and at times they are a little thin and need push. You do need to take a good look at the boards before running them to make sure that you se the depth based on the thick parts of the board, not the thin. The worst board I have run had almost 1/4 inch of difference between the thick part if the board and the thin, which happened to be on one end.
