February 6, 201313 yr comment_17356 I'm cheap and I admit it. My feed roolers on my 13" Delta planer don't grip as they once did and I don't want to buy new rollers until I have to. The owner's manual says to clean them with soap and water but it doesn't seem like they're getting clean. Here's my question to y'all, "What do you use to clean your feed rollers?"Ron DudelstonSite AdministratorAbove and Beyond WoodWorks Report
February 6, 201313 yr comment_17363 Mineral Spirits, although there is probably something better.In the old days of record players (turn tables) there was a rubber wheel restorer liquid. It smelled like Naphtha and it worked great on the idler wheel.  Lew Kauffman-Wood Turners Forum HostTime traveler. Purveyor of the world's finest custom rolling pins! Report
