After the outfeed table has been set at the

correct height, it should not be changed except

for special operations or after replacing knives.

Examples of incorrect settings:

If the outfeed table is too high, the finished

surface of the workpiece will be tapered (Figure

23).

If the outfeed table is too low, the work will be

gouged at the end of the cut (Figure 24)

As a final check of the outfeed table adjustment,

run a piece of wood slowly over the knives for 6

to 8 inches; it should rest firmly on both tables

(Figure 25) with no open space under the

finished cut.

Spring Cutting

Refer to Figure 26.

To spring cut, the outfeed table is lowered below

the level of the cutterhead, as shown in Figure

26. Loosen both gib screws (A) on the outfeed

table. Amount of end-drop is controlled with the

table lock screw (B). Tighten handle to reduce

amount of drop. A 1/32" drop usually creates the

ideal concave for spring joints. After completing

a spring cut, return the outfeed table in line with

the cutterhead knives.

Fence Movement

Refer to Figure 27.

To slide the fence forward or backward on the

table, loosen lock handle (A), slide the fence to

desired position and tighten lock handle (A) to

secure fence. Lift up on fence when tilting or

sliding, to prevent scratching the table.

NOTE: The lock handle (A, Figure 27) may be

adjusted to a more convenient position by

loosening the hex nut below the casting (B,

Figure 28), turning the handle to the proper

position, and retightening the hex nut.

To tilt the fence forward:

1. Loosen locking handle (C, Figure 27).

2. Place an angle measuring device on the

table and against the fence. Tilt the fence to

desired angle using the handwheel, and

tighten locking handle (C) to secure the

setting.

To tilt the fence back:

1. Loosen locking handle (C, Figure 27).

2. Flip the stop block (D) out of the way.

3. Tilt the fence to desired angle using the

handwheel, and tighten locking handle (B)

to secure the setting.

When the tilted operation is

finished and the fence is returned to 90

degrees, don’t forget to flip the stop block

back to its original position.
