I should not comment because I've never seen your machine. However most good edgers use 4 bottom feed rolls and 2 heavy top press rolls on swing arms. If you can get a look at a good heavy duty edger and copy that . You can make the feed rolls from [cheap] roller sprockets, steel shafts and pillow blocks. The upper press rolls on my machine are 6" well pipe. A poorly constructed edger will spoil a lot  of lumber fast.
