Hello I bought an older shaper table that came with a 1/2 hp powermatic stock feeder.
The wood is easy to stop with my hands.
Should the wood be that easy to stop?
I waxed the table also.
I think I need new wheels when I tried to order new ones and read the model number 79 they laughed and said they never heard of that one.
Can anyone help me learn how and if I can get new wheels.
PS I sanded and alcohol on the old ones.

Before calling Western Roller, remove a wheel and have it in hand with a measuring device when you make the call. It won't take them but a few questions about dimensions to determine which feed roller style you'll need.

Western Roller, Actrotech, and Axiom are all suppliers that will also provide the hub. All power feeders come with crap wheels. Most old feeders on US machines were some version of Comatic or on rare occasion Steff. You can also send the hub to any of the suppliers and they will match. Dave
