Two ?'s on my 735 planer:
1. For the first time today, a board was not passed all the way through and I had to "help" it toward the end by pulling it. It is possible that this boards thikness varried enough that a low area was not caught by the rollers during this 1/32" pass. Is it also possible that this could be the first sign that my rollers will soon have the same problem so many other 735's have been plagued with?
2. I waxed the bed on my new planer and noted it to be completly flat and smooth with no scratches. After planing a couple boards yesterday I discovered a few scratches on the bed. There were no nails or even knots in these boards. They had been jointed but were not coplaner and had sharp edges from the jointing. They are pine. What could have scratched the bed? Soft pine with jointed edges? Could the aluminum bed on this jointer scratch so easily?
