Feed Rollers - Grizzly G0505 Owner's Manual

Feed Rollers

The feed rollers rotate in bushing blocks that are
spring loaded, as shown in Figure 27. The feed
rollers ride up on the board while the springs
maintain downward pressure. If chips or sawdust
build up between the bracket and bushing block,
the amount the roller can lift will be reduced and
may prevent the workpiece from passing through
the planer.

Remove the elevation crank, top cover, and
both side panels from the machine, then re-
install the crank for use in the next steps.
Place the wood block under one of the feed
rollers, but not under the cutterhead.
Use the elevation crank to lower the cutterhead
until the roller bushing block on either side
lifts up from the bracket.
Vacuum any trapped material from between
the bushing block and the bracket, and from
around the spring above the bushing block.
Raise the cutterhead and remove the wood
block.
Repeat Steps 3–6 for the other feed roller.
Remove the crank and replace the side pan-
els, top cover, then re-install the crank.
