I've participated in a few threads regarding plugs in the separator, and it seems that when they occur, quite often ithey start at the end of the drop slot and quickly back up until the entire slot is closed off. These plugs occur most often with stringy planer shavings.
Since I have personally experienced the problem, although in my case the shavings were very wet, if I were rebuilding my separator tomorrow, I would end the drop slot with a slight tear-drop shape. I would not exaggerate the shape, but a subtle budge might be beneficial!
So, there you go folks, a new idea you can run with!
