But my Belsaw planer has the new out-feed roller & drive chains & belt installed & everything adjusted.
The in-feed roller was real bad & the Belsaw rep said to switch the out-feed roller to the in-feed side & put the new roller on the out-feed side....so I did. I am still going to get a new roller for the in-feed side I don't like the looks of it. It is somewhere between 1/16" & 3/32" smaller in diameter in the middle than on the ends.
The planer used to run with skips & jerks because the in-feed roller was badly worn along with worn drive chains & belt.
I started at 3 pm & finished at 8 pm & was able to take my time & enjoy it.
The planer seems to work ok too.
Dad used to use this 5 hp planer for production. It also has a rip attachment. The planer isn't damaged just well used & hasn't been used much in several years.
You'll need to click on the attachments to see the pictures.
