I have had the same problem with my planer since it was new. I hate this planer. The way I fixed it was to pull the feed rollers off and put one washer in the hole the pressure springs are on the rollers. I also put about a 1/32 washer under the hold down plate for the roller. It allows the rollers to put more pressure on the wood. Now it works perfect. If it sounds complicated, it will all come together when you take it apart. You take the bottom off to do all this. Trust me it works and is worth the trouble to do it.

SOURCE: My 13" DEwalt Planer feed is slipping and leaving

Hello Ken,
The black marks you are seeing are most likely from the rollers that feed the material threw the planner. The marks are left on the board when the board stops but the feed rollers are still spinning.This occurs when the feed table is stickey with items such as pitch. I would clean off the table completly and wax it ( or some type of lube).
Another cause could be the matrial that you are using, if the stock is real rough it will not slide as easy as a smooth board.
I hope this helps.

P.S. after waxing or lubing the table run a scrap piece first to wipe off any excess.

My 13 in ridgid planer isnt feeding... .any ideas? Model r4330

Portable thicknesser has all the powered parts in the power planer head including the powered rollers that auto feed the timber under the planer head.
I have never had one apart so I don't know how the rollers are connected to the motor though as the head is so compact it is more likely gears than belt (mine is floor standing and uses a belt) and likely has some sort of overload clutch that will slip in case of an overload.

Whatever the drive system is, it clearly needs repair and that will mean removing and dismantling the power head and when the faulty component is found it might be a good idea to order two to cover future replacements.

Dewalt 735 planer trips overload a lot. New blades, thin cut no difference. Run it, without wood, it trips. Overload switch? Checked everthing. Turns free with chains off. Bluespook

id check the feed roller drive or feed rollers them selfs I find due to pressure there under most times they get flat spots in them from sitting makes for a hard start to planer


its best to back off tension rollers when storing these and keep them bearings lubed up well
and yes it happens to sealed bearings too

When I feed the board in it stops then starts again. ever four inches. Leave a little snip in board. I've replaced the belt an the chains on the in feed and out feed still have this problem.

Couple of things to check:
1. Are your knives sharp? Dull knives will cut not fast enough to keep up with the rollers.
2. What is the depth of cut? Dewalt's planers cannot plane a board to excessive depths.
3. Are you rollers clean? Dirt, pitch or possibly grease could affect your feed rate.
4. The belt/chain for your rollers engaged or are they slipping? Open up the planer and check for wear or possibly broken belt/chain.
Snipe is usally caused by improper support while exiting the planer. Use outfeed rollers set to the correct height. Also chek that you outfeed bed is aligned with the bed of the planer.
Hope that helps,
