feeding a board into my DW733 it grabs and swings the rear of the board to the left side of the planer. If I hold it firmly as I feed it will feed straight any suggestions?
Mine does the same thing and haven’t figured it out or looked into it. I guess now is the time I should try to see what is going on. I just don’t use it a ton.
Thanks Eric, I guess misery likes company, the Dewalt repair center wants $224.00 before taxes to repair it, and they haven’t even discussed the problem with me. I guess that’s a blanket price.
Took my DW733 apart, everything looked good, the only odd thing I noticed was on the side that was grabbing, the spring is a different size and strength on that side of the feed roller than the other side or the other two on the exit roller, its longer but not as strong. The manual shows that’s correct. Guess I’ll clean everything up oil and lube it good and see what happens.
How’d everything go with the repair?
