Darien from Reihl steel was in my mill yard at 8:00 this morning. 
He went trough the edger from end to end.
It now cuts ture and straight. 
I can now use it.
Thank You Darien

What was it's problem?

He didn't say he put some pins in to keep the feed rollers adjusted right and some other things .

I could not operate without a good edger. Sometimes I even rip a board for a customer on it.  When I rebuilt this edger I went all the way right down to the frame. I was able to talk to one of the brothers who designed it and was told how to line it up. It would banana every third board. I struggled for a long time and asked any edger owner that would listen for advise. Got some strange answers. Roller alignment was the one thing that kept coming up but I had been very careful about that.   After a long time I discovered the 2nd roll on the outfeed table was 3/4" out of square. If it happened that the board didn't touch that roll the board would saw straight. I had been told that the outfeed table had no effect. My machine has been working great for years now but I wish it was bigger. Bigger is always better.
