solution to BF7-41 planer problem

Thanks to John R. and Seth H.for their responses.
After much fussing, adjusting the compression spring screws 1/2 of one screwdriver slot width at a time, and finding the an appropriate balance? between infeed and outfeed roller pressure, I successfully? achieved some progress in getting the planer to feed. Several coats of machine buffed paste wax applied to the table resulted in smooth feeding of? lumber and the end to many hours of frustration.?Felder makes a fine machine, but in my opinion it is a bit too sensitive in some respects. I would be interested to hear from anyone else in this regard.
With respect to the limitation of the jointer fence setting relative to the jointer table width, I am of the opinion that the jointer table side extension should be an included part of the machine, even if the cost is built into the price. I used to use the full surface of the jointer on my BF5 ( now Phillip Tamarkin's) without the fence with no problem, but still feel that the fence should be useable with the full width of the table. I have the extension on the BF7 and find I like not having to remove and replace the fence when going from surfacing to jointing while doing wide stock.
Regards to all,
Paul
