So I just watched the vid and it is a bit much but does it really matter? I have had it happen and I just push on it to straighten it out if I feel like it¡¯s necessary for some reason. Does the hammer have the ability to adjust the rollers? Forget all the dial gauges for a minute and just start putting more or less pressure on one side or the other to get it to feed straight. Looks like you need to either reduce the pressure on the right or increase on the left
Regards, Mark

There's not a lot to do in setting the planer up.

I use a standard machinist's test indicator in a movable stand? I

No tapers no snipe? no issues.

I ordered my C3 31 on 12/29/2019; received it on 1/24/2020.? I've
been trying my level best to set it up and have not been able to
get the planer to stop kicking and/or sniping boards.? I've worked
with tech support and now a field tech has been working with me as
well over the phone and email.? I've been using very accurate
gauges (0.01 mm) and have sent photos and videos to the Felder
staff multiple times over the last few weeks without any success.?
I am at my wits' end with this machine.? I've filled a large dust
collector bag already with just the chips from attempting to
adjust this planer.? I'm about ready to tell Felder they can take
the machine back and I'll go with another brand.? I've setup other
machines previously and never had anywhere near this much trouble
and never had to spend more than 6 hours adjusting even much less
expensive and/or sometimes poorly built machines (Harbor Freight,
Grizzly, Dewalt, Steel City, Delta, etc.)
Has anyone else had problems like this or struggled this much to
get a new machine to work properly?
