My portable planer wasn’t pulling every board through.
Thanks to all you folks who suggested waxing my planer bed and cleaning the feed rollers. My portable planer is back to normal.
and Merry Christmas, if you celebrated such things

I have a buddy that has a block of wax by his planner all the time and before he uses it he always makes a few jagged lines down the lenght of the bed and swears that it gives the wood a better surface because the wood is surfaced more evenly (same number of cuts per inch).

I like to use the spray that doesnt have any silicone in it..I have had experience with a project that I used wax on My tablesaw and it didnt take any finish in a few spots because of the wax...had a hell of a time sanding it out and getting it to take a finish...I use the "Top-coat" brand sold at most hdwe suppliers and tool depots...just something to think about and My 2 cents worth.
That is what I spary on my tools but my buddy has basicly the same stuff in a can but a a bar form. He makes a few lines on hte bed and has never had a problem with it. I am not sure where he got it as I don't see myself doing it everythime I run the thing. I like to spray and walk away.Scott C. Frankland
