Fixit
I have commisioned my FOX to day and had loads of problems with tension and getting the timber to run through the thicknesser i noticed the drive side was gripping to hard but the rhs my 2x2 was pulled through ok any way i have backed the pre tension of on the drive side to a point where i had to fit lock nuts and after reading your above post i am most interested in your idea for altering the tension on the chain.
when i read the above its not obvious that this is the first p/t m/c i have ever used so i do not no what should happen i am playing it by ear .
Please keep us up to date on your ideas .
I wonder if this problem is what has caused so many machine returns.
