Oscillating head, no grit lines, media does not gum up in the same area as easily, since it oscillates you dont get a heat build up in the same area on the media as easily and causing the above problems.
When I first got my Performax 16-32 years ago I ruined a belt in no time at all. It got gummed up streaks which in turn made burned streaks on the wood. At around $10 a belt you don't want to do that very often. Then someone said to feed the stock at a slight angle to the drum. That way as the stock passes under the drum the contact point is moving horizontally along the length of the drum.

Of course, proper feed rate and amount of material removal are factors. Also as the stock gets wider the effect is diminished.

I just changed a belt about a month ago that had been on the machine for years.

I think the 'subject' of this thread has nothing to do with the SS planer, but rather the 'burnability' of cherry burl. :D JMHO ;)

Sanding will remove the marks.

Actually slow feed rate can make it worse as will a fast cutter speed.

Repetitive impact creates the heat AIUI).

i.e. no chips carrying the heat away.

Dull knives are also a culprit.(heat again)

I agree with you, If doing repetitive work then It's generate heats and work would be damage !

I agree if it is burning the wood something is not right , have you tried any other hard wood ??? I hear all the time folks having issues with cherry but I can tell you if your equipment is set up right and everything is clean sharp and running at the proper speed it doesn't burn, I use cherry quite a lot and will add it does not have a high tolerance to equipment that is not properly set up or dull blades ,, in fact I have used scrap pieces it to set up my saws for that very reason . if you stop in the middle of a cut it can also show burn marks , as for the planer I would have the blades sharpened or replaced and properly re-aligned . 2 you may also have a issue with the feed rate , if the forward motion slows too much it may cause the situation on any planer especially with a dull dirty blade . also pictures may help .

Notice the link that he includes in his post.

Is this, in itself, reason to be banned?

That's a good idea until my rough stock is just above finished dimensions (my case right now).

It's also very wasteful if you have to include 6" of extra length on every piece.
