worked for the first 5 boards (6' long doug fir, approx. 50-100 years old) and then it stopped feeding reliably. looked on here and found that others had the same issue. unsure of the cause, but the bottom line is that it wasn't feeding properly. tried calling dewalt, they were closed on the saturday. tried feeding to different parts of the table. tried feeding with less or more depth being taken off with each pass. tried to make sure it was being fed level and getting support along the way. nothing seemed to work.can't recommend this planer. while it worked great at first and seems to have a good build, it didn't feed correctly and there was a crack that i noticed later in the plastic motor housing, right above the "e" in the dewalt logo on the front.
