Thread: rollers or not

I was just wondering today about how many of us have used thicknessers without rollers in the table and those that have rollers in the table and wether there might be a preference for with or without and why....
I have a machine with and one without, the expensive machine doesn't have rollers the cheap one does, I prefer to use the cheap one because it gives me far less grief with timber stalling on the table as it feeds thru, it will if I have fed a sticky resinous bit of pine thru and not cleaned the table but it has to be pretty bad for it to stall, I can use it all day and no stalling......the expensive machine I clean, I polish, I silver glide the table, a few boards later and it will start to stall, 5 boards later and I have to help the boards thru, I have to keep reapplying silver glide to get the boards to feed thru, this is a bit dependant on the species of timber but it is typical, most frustrating and of course it happens on the final pass

What r others experiences in this regard
