We tried cleaning the feed rolls several times, thin-x, acetone, etc. They
never seemed that dirty/gummed up. Finally I figured with the thousands of
feet that have probably gone through the planer that the feed rolls must
be shot/dried out/something?

How can an all steel no plastic planer have dried out feed rollers????
Perhaps the rollers are not steel???
Rubber rollers? Cold weather? Rubber rollers get hard in cold weather and
will not feed properly. See if blowing them with a heated hair dryer helps.



Maybe he's talking about the bearings in the rollers being dried out...
