The roller guides are manufactured as anti-kickback hold downs for table saw application. To configure in the beveler application, they have to be changed on the axles and the ratchet/anti-kickback dogs removed. The spring tension is adjustable, and holddown pressure is very good.
It's best to square up the stock so it is uniform and the nodes flattened, so each pass thru is smooth. Sections will still requires planing as there will be hard & soft spots throughout each piece, but it saves a heck of a lot of planing strokes. The sections come out at a true 60 degrees which pays off in final planing.
Roller holddowns are item # 96-974 @ $49.99 thru Woodworker's Supply catalog.
