Why is lumber not feeding well through my Powermatic 15S?
- SSarah StevensonJul 27, 2025
Poor feeding of lumber in your Powermatic Planer can occur due to inadequate feed roller pressure. Adjust the feed roller tension; if proper tension cannot be achieved, replace the feed rollers. A rough or dirty planer table can also cause this issue; clean pitch and residue from the table and apply paste wax. If the belt is slipping on the pulleys, tighten it. Lastly, a clogged feed roller surface can cause poor feeding; clean pitch and residue off the roller.
