Outfeed roller for a fix

That is brilliant.

Just what I’ve been looking for to smooth

the passing of timber over the thicknesser.

G’day, Rob.
That is a neat idea with ball bearing- it should roll very freely.

Nice one. I’ve had this issue not only with bowed wood, but with uneven floors in my garage. Thanks for sharing.

It is quite a creative solution to such a common issue. I really enjoyed your approach and technique. Thank you so much for sharing!

very great idea! Will keep that in the memory bank! I also liked how you fitted the wood into the bearing. Did you glue the wedge in?

-- Hey you dang woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!!!!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the comments, no glue used in this project. Just a bearing trick, emerse bearing in mineral spirits to reduce the grease and they spin easily. learned that trick as a kid making billy carts.
It works because there is no real loading on the bearings so no excessive wear.
