Tooline 300 thicknesser not feeding
Arvo all, my thicknesser has stopped feeding timber through. Is there a woodruff key somewhere that might have sheared? Or does anyone have a diagram?
The rollers turn in unison by hand but not under power.

Here's a link to a parts schematic for a Ryobi thicknesser, yours will be very similar if not identical - Ryobi Surface Planer | AP1301 | eReplacementParts.com
If you take the side cover off you should be able to check the drive chain and sprockets, A18 and A19, it's probably where you will locate the problem.

Thanks aldav, will have a look in the morning. Was wondering how the feed is geared to be different from the cutter head, if any? Disregard that last bit, found out about the gearbox.

Well, got the carriage with motor, cutter, and rollers off. The chain drive from the motor to the feed rollers was broken, have a suspicion the bearings in the feed rollers are knackered, when the chain between the rollers if removed, the rollers turn but not freely, how free are they supposed to be?
Think there is a reduction gearbox at the end of the motor for the rollers.

Got it sorted, think there had been a gum build up in the bushes on the rollers due t to dust getting in, causing the chain to break. There's only a bush in each end. the mounting block is wider on one side than the other as per photo.
