The torsion spring broke which allowed the planer to skip when you tried to feed wood in to it.

I replaced the worn sprocket and tension ring and the torsion spring which stopped the skipping when planeing. The parts I ordered were shipped promptly for a reasonable price and they solved the problem. Very happy with the service I received.
