I have had a little problem with the planer in that when thickness planing a 6-7 inch wide board it runs smoothly until the last 4-5 inches and then hesitates or stops until I assist it by pulling it out. I spoke to John Hartshorne today and he recommended cleaning the table very well which I did and then to try lowering the outfeed roller a little at a time.? I did this to the point where the shaft of the roller is almost touching the housing so I"m not sure I can lower it much more. It has helped but not solved the problem. I am still in the process of adjusting. Has anyone else had a similar problem and a solution. I will call John back next week but alas the weekend is here.
