The table rollers are adjusted at the factory. If

they should need further or “fine” adjustment:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Loosen lock handle and position the quick-

set lever (Figure 12) to zero.

3. Use a dial gauge (not provided) to find the

distance from table top to the apex of the

table roller. Zero the gauge at this position.

4. Place the gauge over the extreme right side

of the table roller and find the high point of

the table roller arc. The gauge should still

read zero.

5. If the gauge reading is greater or less than

zero, reach beneath the table with a wrench

and loosen the hex nut (C, Figure 13) which

is above the cam (D, Figure 13) near the

end of the roller that needs adjusting. Rotate

the hex cap screw (E, Figure 13) until the

gauge reads zero.

6. Repeat the process for the left side of the

table roller, and then recheck the right side.

It is important that both ends of the table

rollers be the same height to help prevent

skewing of the board as it feeds through the

machine.

7. Re-tighten the hex nuts (C, Figure 13) on

both ends of the table roller.

8. Repeat the procedure for the second table

roller.

Table Adjustments

The planer table is raised and lowered by twin

screws supported on bearings, and is guided by

machined surfaces on the side panels. The fit-

up to prevent the table from rocking is controlled

by gibs. See Figure 14. These gibs should be

adjusted individually using the three gib screws

provided so that the ways are lightly contacting

on all four surfaces. The gibs should be tight

enough to prevent rocking or movement of the

table when the planer is in operation.

To perform accurate planing the table must be

parallel with the cutterhead. Lack of parallelism

results in a taper over the width of the board. To

check parallelism do the following:

1. Place a gauge on the table and contacting a

knife insert at the apex of its arc, Do this at

each end of the cutterhead and compare the

measurements.

2. If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead,

place the gauge at the end that needs to be

raised.
