Paul,?? Try tightening down
those feed roller springs just a little more. If it starts to pull you;ve
tightened one side too much. The other problem is that the feed belt could be
slipping. Have you tried to check that. I;ve got John's cell phone no. do you
want that.
Take care,
John

jointer/planer question
Hello everyone,
Before I get to my question, I'd like to say thanks to Geoff
for getting this forum going. No doubt this will be a really popular
place.
Secondly, I recently posted a message on Badger Pond having
to do with a alignment problem on my jointer after having moved it . Thanks to
Charlie, John R., and Geoff for your input and advice. So far the solution
seems to be re-adjusting the machine if necessary whenever the thing is moved.
Not the best of all possible solutions, but there it is. The response to my
posting was very quick on the part of Felder USA. Wolfgang called me at about
9AM my time to try to solve the problem. After?checking the tightness of
some bolts and set screws, and further discussion with John Hartschorn, the
immediate solution is as stated above.John will be coming to my shop after
the?Mid-Atlantic show to thoroughly check out my machine. I have to say,
the folks at Felder USA make every effort to make things right!
OK, now for today's problem. This?is probably related
to having moved the machine also. because ever since the planer has not fed
stock very well, if at all. I've spoken with John H. and he gave me the set-up
specs for the in-and out-feed rollers and for the compression springs above
them.?The rollers were at their correct settings and I've set the springs
as per John's recommendation, but the #%@$ thing still won't feed. I've
adjusted the spring tension in very small increments, and it comes close to
feeding, but I still end up pushing? and pulling the stock through. It's
Saturday, I can't get ahold of John, I'm in the middle of work that has to be
delivered next Friday and I'm really frustrated. Anyone out there had a
similar problem, or any ideas? that I haven't tried? You have my eternal
gratitude and a free dinner if you have a solution that works.
Thanks to all, and I look forward to meeting some of you 9in
the future
?Regards Paul??
