Here is a vendor that has scanned the manual on a disc for sale. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Delta-13-Pl...-Planer-Instruction-Manual-Model-22-650-RC-33-/140536088772?hash=item20b89a88c4

If it has a missing lever you will probably have to fabricate one.

I don't know. I've never used a planer that had such a lever. I have a 22-560 planer and the feed rollers turn if the motor does. I do have a 24" planer that has two separate motors for the head and feed which you can turn on separately. I think if you would open the cabinet on up yours where you could see how the feed rollers are driven you could see if there is a mechanism to disengage them. You probably should open it up anyway. The feed rollers are normally chain driven so I'm sure it could use some maintenance. It probably needs some cleaning and the chain oiled. The Rockwell planer I have there is a square block which holds the bearings of the feed rollers. The square block has a spring that puts down pressure on the rollers. On mine the square blocks are in a tract that is under such tight tolerances the least little dirt gets in there and holds the blocks up so the feed rollers end up slipping.

It's difficult to make out. It doesn't appear from the illustration the parts 216 thru 219 have anything to do with 202 thru 215 which I think is the chain drive.

I can't understand the diagram either. I seriously doubt if that knob engages and disengages the feed rollers. The only real purpose for that would be is if you started planing a board and something went wrong you could pull a lever or something and stop it from feeding. That would be too cumbersome for that purpose. I think the knob likely is to lock the head in place so you can change the knives.

I still think you need to open up the planer and tinker with the feed mechanism to see how it works.

If the pin #230 doesn't need lubrication or maintenance why do you want to remove the table rollers?

 

[Steve Neul]

Keep in mind those rollers are a precise size to prevent friction with the table. If you machine them down they may be useless.

I have a 22-650 type 2 that I am overhauling. My area of concern are the bottom rollers - the eccentric ones. One spins freely, the other not so much. Pulling the roller remained a mystery until I discovered this thread. From what I gather, I can screw in a 10-32 into the center and use it as a purchase attachment to pull the roller free.m sound about right?

Both feed rollers are tied to each other. If one is not turning very well remove the cover on the left side and inspect the chain sprockets. I have a tooth broken off three of the sprockets on my planer. It sounds like you too many broken off.
