Yes if it sticks it leaves a Mark from the infeed roller turning but not moving the wood ( I can see this happening if I look under the table)?
I¡¯m not sure if the infeed has possibly worn and causing this? I haven¡¯t checked if the rollers are perfectly parallel with the bed if I¡¯m honest, I adjusted them with the screws you mention below the table once a couple of years ago but I haven¡¯t touched them since.?
Thanks!

David,
Do you get an indentation/groove where the infeed has been slipping? This would just be an indication of slippage.
I am interested in this because i have occasionally experienced where boards get stuck at the end of the feed. I have only observed this with cypress and WRC and cleaning gas been sufficient so far.
All I can think of is to double check that feed rollers are parallel to the bed. Looking at the exploded diagram, the height of the roller is determined by a screw in each end that bears at the bottom of the roller shaft via the bearing (as best as i can tell).
The spring force on top of the roller adjusts the resistance that the wood had to overcome to push the roller up.
I am curious what happens if the bearings are going out? maybe the roller do not move up evenly in each side and cause feed issues. Just spitballing. I cannot look at my machine as every horizontal surface is coved with parts being finished.
