Hi John,
I have checked the belt, and it is not slipping. I've taken
the springs from no tension to almost max compression- the best I can get is
slight movement. I'm sure there is a solution, but I'm not finding it. I hate to
call John on his day off, and maybe I won't, but I'll take his cell phone number
just in case I can't resolve this. Many thanks,
Paul?

jointer/planer question
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??
