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.

You can see the parts diagram in the files section under:??700 Series Parts Manual (vers 10-2005).pdf?
