the infeed and outfeed rollers keep the workpiece
moving through the planer. Springs exert down-
ward pressure on the rollers while allowing them
to raise with an uneven workpiece surface. proper
roller spring tension is crucial to keep the work-
piece moving through the planer during operation.
roller spring tension will vary depending upon the
type of wood you are planing. When adjusting the
roller spring tension, keep the following in mind:
•
if you are planing milled lumber with a rel-
atively consistent surface, use less spring
tension to reduce the risk of marring the
workpiece surface.
•
if you are planing rough lumber with incon-
sistent surfaces, use greater spring tension
to keep the stock moving through the planer.
•
if the workpiece consistently stops feeding
during operation, the roller spring tension
may need to be increased.
