I have a old Yorkcraft YC-12P planer.
Bought it used back in 2016 and have gotten some good use out of it but …
all of a sudden the infeed roller stopped working on it.
One side of the roller raised up quite a bit so that side is now way too high for in board contact.
Looks like the height adjustment screw for the roller on that side may have come out or broken off but not sure.
Any suggestions???

All I could find is jointers. Is this lunchbox or four post?

This planer is a copy of Grizzly planners. It seems to be a carbon copy of the Grizzly GO453

Maybe the compression spring on that side is broken or has come out. Time to pull the lid off and have a look.
