Default Is My Planer Set Up Correctly?

The outfeed roller is definitely lower than the infeed roller and that is
what my question is. Should it be?


See my response above...how could it possibly function unless it is
lower and by enough to still have sufficient friction force applied to
pull the material on through the planer _EVEN AT THE THICKEST POSSIBLE
CUT_???

I don't know what the limit stop is on these baby planers, it's 1/8" on
my PM180 so the outfeed has to be roughly that much lower or you would
have to adjust it on the fly for every significant cut thickness.

Even the little old Rockwell/Delta Model 13 is 3/32" to the stop bar...
