DW 733 not feeding

Denatured alcohol on a lint free cloth.

You can also go to the DeWalt web site, register (free) and then enter into the Service area and get access to How To articles, repair modification (that you can do) and other info that may be of value to you.

Are the rollers rotating? Check the cog-belt and drive gears to see if the belt is bad or if one of the gears came loose.

what Bob said. My 733 rollers started slipping and that's what I used. that was years ago and I haven't had any slippage since (other than a disc or two :) )

Thanks, I'll give that a try tomorrow. The rollers are turning, just not gripping the wood as well as they used to.

Yup. Same thing.

A little wax on the beds, and a water-moistened rag worked for me. I consider it a part of required maintenance (it's all of a 3-minute procedure) every 100 bf or so of thicknessing. I don't consider using water a problem because I generally fire the thing back up and it becomes "wind-dry" in withing 30 seconds. I assume the problem is just dust and not pitch or some other contaminant. I'm sure DNA works, but I thought it might be a little harsh on the rubber.

Righto you are. I picked up a can and it works great. No residue on the surface but it makes wood slide so easy.
