I just purchased a used Makita 2030 Jointer/Planer combination machine.
The rollers that feed the lumber through the planer and into the cutter head are partially covered in some kind of gunky rubber.
I suspect this gunky rubber was at one time polyeurthane that squeezed the lumber on its way to the cutterhead.
What to do?
I want to use this thing.
All other parts including motor work well.
Thanks.

Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Shop Fox W1844
Although seemingly identical to the Grizzly G0785, the Shop Fox W1844 delivered slightly better suction than the Grizzly. Bag changes are easy on both machines, thanks to a nice-fitting bag that stays in place while you operate the band clamp. And both units hang solidly on their brackets.

These folks can recover them, about $70 each last time I checked.
