Planer Feeding Difficulties

Small waves and kinks in rough lumber often cause feeding trouble with thicknessing planers. The lower rolls, by failing to contact the board, do not move it against the friction of the planer platens. A simultaneous micrometer adjustment for all the lower rolls can provide an easy means of restarting the feed. If one has a considerable amount of rough lumber to dress, and can accurately raise the lower rolls with little trouble, he can just as easily lower them again when he needs to do a finish-dressing job.
