I have a Dewalt 735 planer that I used the first time a week ago and put about two dozen boards (1×6x6) through it. Today I tried to use the planer and it won’t feed any boards. I’m puzzled as to what is causing the planer not to work. What should I be looking for to get the planer working? -- Chris, Central Texas |

You may have changed speeds while note running the motor (don’t ask how I know). Change the speed back to either 1 or 2 and try again. Can only change while machine is running. |

I have had similar issues with my Delta 22-580. Usually cleaning/waxing the bed and/or cleaning the rollers fixes the issue for me. |

Mineral spirits on the rollers. When mine get dirty the machine stops feeding well. |

Wax the infeed and outfeed trays as well as the deck under the cutterhead. Repeat every time the feed rate slows. -- The hump with the stump and the pump! |

Thank you all that gave suggestions on why my planer wasn’t feeding. The major culprit was the cold temperature and after warming up the planer and waxing the infeed, outfield, and deck under the rollers and cutterhead. I really appreciate all the knowledge here on lumberjacks.com. -- Chris, Central Texas |

I’m glad you got your planer working. When the same thing happened to my Dewalt 735 planer it turned out to be a broken sprocket. It was an easy fix using the exploded view. The part was $11. |
