Hey All,
New to the site here and I'm hoping y'all could give me some insight onto a problem with my Ridgid 13" planer. I've read a lot about problems with boards not feeding through these planers. Common fixes include waxing the bed and feed tables, and cleaning the rollers. I've done both of these numerous times to no avail.
My problem is that my board feeds find until the last few inches when the board is contacting only the outfeed roller. It does not seem to be able to complete the cut and push the board all the way out so I usually have to pull it from the back. It almost seems as though maybe the blades cut deeper than the outfeed roller so that it does not contact the board? Not sure if this is even possible the the rollers are spring loaded.
Has anyone had this problem before or are there any recommendations out there? My next move is just to try buying a new roller.
Thanks!
Alex
