My planer has been great so far but now once in awhile when a board is going through it, it stops rolling and I have to push it through. I took it apart and checked adjustments and everything was clean anybody have any ideas what I should look for or check. Thanks Rick

First clean the infeed and outfeed rollers real good with a solvent such as mineral spirits. Then clean the main table and wax it. The wax on the main table is the most important step.

I've had the same problem. I clean and wax and clean and wax but it still runs 2 or 3 boards through and it starts all over again.I sometimes get mad and wonder if all planers are like this.Can anyone tell me if other planers are the same way or is it mostly Ridgid???
