Thanks for explaining "kick".? I don't understand why this is a problem.? The solution is not to run boards on the side.? Run them in the middle.
To some degree, this behavior is inevitable with a solid roller.? Perfectly even tension on the roller will not prevent it.? It is caused by the rollers not making even contact across across the width of the board.? Maybe this drawing helps.? See recent other planer thread with picture of segmented rollers, a (much more expensive) design that won't have this behavior.??
