The DeWalt DW733 board does not feed smoothly because, although the rollers are turning, they fail to pull the boards through properly. This issue started after a few successful passes. The rollers leave black marks, which suggests they may not have enough grip on the wood. Possible causes include dust or residue buildup on the rollers, insufficient pressure, or improper feeding technique. Cleaning the rollers and ensuring correct board positioning may help resolve the issue.

@Mr. Anderson mine does same thing. Thought I should replace rollers but looks like they’re obsolete. Why would they be obsolete when everything else works fine? Crazy! Makes me want to never own another Dewalt product again

On the 733 there are 5 springs under the rollers. 3 are identical, 1 has slightly thinner wire hence not as stiff but is a bit longer. The fifth is the same length but fits inside one of the others. Where do each of these go?
