Feed.Roller.Pressure
To be effective, the infeed and outfeed rollers must put
pressure on the workpiece as it feeds through the planer/
moulder. Too little pressure and the boards will not feed
into the machine, too much pressure can overload the
motor.
Experiment with the best pressure settings for your work
situations. Some lumber will feed through with relatively
few problems, while other lumber will have more
difficulty.
Adjusting roller pressure does not affect the height of the
feed roller.
To adjust roller pressure, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that knives and feed rollers are set correctly.
3. Make sure that spring pressure adjustment nuts
shown in Figure.53 are all an equal height from top
of screw.
4. Increase feed roller pressure by tightening spring
pressure adjustment nuts equally. Loosen spring
pressure adjustment nuts to reduce feed roller
pressure.
