PLANER OUTFEED ROLLER

[woodmeister]

Just acquired a professional model stand alone shop smith planer. The out feed roller needs to be replaced. It has the metal knerled in feed rollers on it. Wondering if the rubber infield (if I had one) is the same as the out feed rubber roller? I upgraded my planer years ago and don't remember and think I threw it away .
Thanks,
Tom

Possibly. Mine is the Mark V mounted version, but in the Owner's Manual I purchased from Shopsmith (which shows the infeed roller on it being rubber) both the infeed and outfeed rollers are the same.

I don't have a ProPlaner Manual or know all of the differences between it and the Mark V mounted version. However, looking at the Service info on Shopsmith's website, the outfeed roller for a ProPlaner does have a different part number than the rubber feed roller for mine ... 514534 for a ProPlaner vs 513401 for a Mark V mounted version. Maybe CS could tell you.

Don't know who CS is. I found and older out feed roller not as bad as one on it now. I put it between centers on SS and put new groves into the rubber with my skew all the way across. Hopefully it will grip better now. Other person must have used it on thinner boards and it was smooth for about 4 inches on center of roller and now it looks like it may work. Thank you for your input.
Thanks,

I put the out feed roller on centers and reconditioned the surface with my skew and worked like a champ. Going to order the belt guard tomorrow well 3 of them to save postage as I will need them in time.
Thanks guys,
