Issue type: Equipment Problem
Area: Woodshop
Equipment: Planer 15"- Powermatic 15HH
Summary: Planer gets stuck on in-feed
Additional Info: It seems like the roller wasn’t able to full grasp or would get stuck when taking in my stock. The most problematic area was around the middle toward the left (if you are facing the in-feed). When I was cleaning up it looked like there was some sticky substance on the out-feed area. Not sure if its related.

Sounds like a good waxing is in order.

Two possible reasons are:

  1. someone ran boards through with “blue” tape on them (I’ve cleaned this issue up a few times)
  2. Someone ran wet glue up or epoxy through it.

In either case, the bed and rollers will need to be cleaned and then waxed

Someone has finished work on this and called it done.
