Anyone know if the feed wheels on a U17 can be track angle adjusted?
Set so they are a degree towards the fence (outfeed side closer to the fence than the infeed side) so the material is helped to stay against the fence.

I just bought a new weinig and am being trained this week. I will ask the weinig technician that question tommorrow

The weinig tech said that the feed wheels are already angeled to push or steer the wood into the fence it is built into the main frame of the machine and can not be adjusted. He said if your boards are leaving the fence theres something wrong.

Wow, that's Odd.
I called weinig and the tech told me how to turn the feed wheel adjustment cams to skew the wheels toward the fence.  I thought those were adjustment cams but had to ask to be sure.
The tech you talked to may have thought I had a different model.
I have a u17a.
Enjoy the class

I couldn't remember what model you had when I asked. He said my machine doesn't have an adjustment for that.
