Details? Where you get the rubber, what size, duro meter, etc
Did your planer not come with a rubber infeed roller? Why would the infeed roller matter if the surface is about to hit the cutterhead and be planed off? I am about to convert my outfeed roller to rubber on my Bridgewood BW15p but I believe the only option is the one made by Grizzly for their older 1021.Quote:

Outfeed rollers are all typically solid I think.
Please let us know how you made the roller or where you got it.
I took the serrated roller out and had the machinist at work make me a new roller/shaft with out the serrated part.
I contacted J&J Short assoc. and they rubberized the roller for me. Great company to deal with.
I installed the new rubberized roller and it works great. No more roller marks even with light passes.
Mike great idea. What planer do you have ?
Never mind just saw the title of the thread....
Western Roller will do the same thing but with urathane for anybody interested.
And for you folks with the ubiquitous Grizzly 15" machines, they sell a rubberized outfeed roller which apparently finally comes standard on some 15" machines. When I bought my G0453Z replacement they were about $80. Took about 30 minutes. The 1021 roller is a bit more for whatever reason.
