Does anyone here have experience with a Belsaw Molder Planer, specifically model 9103?  My old man bought one a year ago along with a whole box of knives and weights. Its been sitting in my woodshop ever since.  I have yet to really mess with it other than running a piece of pine through it. It seems like the feed roller isnt low enough though.  It was barely putting any pressure on the board and kept slipping. I was scared it was going to kick back and try to kill me.
I like Lucas Mills and big wood.  www.logboy.com

Most of those have rubber feed rollers.  The infeed roller wears pretty fast and will develop a low spot in the center.  Yes, that can be dangerous if wore too much.

Other than variable speed the machine is not that much different than a brand new Woodmaster.
