If it cannot grip tight enough to feed the work "and" cut, you are

too much. These type planers will marginally cut 10" wide on stock that

3/4" thick let alone have the power to feed something 8 times heavier.


Yes I know I am asking too much from My dinky planner but it's working and
I just purchase 4 stand rollers. It may burn out eventually but as I wrote
earlier for $199. on sale who cares.
I set it so hardly nothing comes off the 1st two passes but it more trues
the surface. I have done about 20 logs so far and haven't had to spin the
blades as of Yet. I am surprised at the quality of the finish product.
Thanks for You input.
