Why is lumber feeding poorly through my Jet Planer?
- DDarren SparksAug 26, 2025
Poor feeding of lumber in the Jet Planer can be caused by: * Inadequate feed roller pressure. Adjust feed roller tension, and if proper tension cannot be achieved, replace feed rollers. * Planer bed rough or dirty. Clean pitch and residue, and wax the planer table. * Transmission v-belt slipping. Tighten the transmission v-belt. * Surface of feed rollers clogged. Clear pitch and residue out of teeth.
