Default Delta 12" Planer Question

OOps never mind, wrong answer to this question.

I have a Delta 12" bench top planer I got last year, and after the
most recent project it was time to change blades, lube the gears, and
see what else needed doing.

There is a switch for 60ipm or 90ipm, seems to be a small rack and
pinion type thing maybe to change the gears. The problem is that with
the switch to the 90ipm, the feed rollers work fine, but in the 60ipm
position, the rollers don't turn. The little pinion turns OK, and the
rack seems to move back and forth, but I'm not sure if it moves
enough.

And Delta is closed today, and Christmas is on the way. Any ideas as
to what the prob may be??

Thanks to all, and Merry Christmas......


The simpelest and cheapest way to reduce snipe is to simply lift up on the
opposite end of the board as it enters and exits the planer cutter head
area.
