I'm going to try cleaning the feed rollers and see if that makes a difference. Don't see any nicks on any of the blades and like I said the marks are across the board not the length of it. Will post when I figure it out. Thanks for the help.

While cleaning them determine if you have the newer STEEL infeed roller.

If so, the softer wood may be compressed by the high points of the roller.

Damp rag bring them out????

You might want to check the infeed roller pressure. Below are two pages from the Owner's Manual for that adjustment procedure.

If you have the steel infeed roller, any indendations should be removed by the cut, unless you cut is very shallow. Have you tried increasing the depth of the cut (if that is possible without going below your desired thickness)? If you have a motor feed, any excessive infeed roller pressure may not be as detectable as it might be with a manual feed.

Echoing what others have said, pictures would help. Resize and save pictures to less than 2050 pixels wide x less than 1180 pixels high x less than 2 MB in size and they should attach OK. All three size limits must be met.

Thanks everyone. I'll post back what I figure out with the rollers. Probably going to be a day or so before I can get back to it.

Didn't realize it has the metal input roller and that is what is making the marks. I hadn't taken that cover off and I was barely planing the wood. If I take more off at a time it doesn't leave those makes. Guess if I want to plane that fine I will have to lighten the pressure on the input roller? Thanks again for the help. If I'd taken that cover off to begin with I'd have figured it out, live and learn!
