GAUGE BLOCK
You may use a home made gauge block made of hardwood. The gauge block can be made by follow-
ing the dimensions in the illustration. If you prefer, precision aluminum gauge blocks are available from
General International under item #30-040.
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-
ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
ADJUSTING CUTTER HEAD PARALLEL TO THE TABLE
The cutter head has been pre-set parallel to the table at the factory, therefore, except in some rare cases (impor-
tant maintenance, transport handling) no further adjustments are required.
If adjustments are required follow these procedures:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Place the gauge block A on table directly under cutter head. Lower the cutter head until the it just touches the
gauge block A.
3. Move the gauge block A to opposite end of the table and make sure it just touches the cutter head at the
other end as well.
If not, leave the gauge in place and follow the instructions below.
4. Under the table, loosen the three screws B using the a 6 mm Allen key, insert a screwdriver in the hole located
in the lead screw housing C, and then turn the shaft clockwise or counterclockwise so that the gauge block A
just touches the cutter head.
5. Position the gauge block A to the other side to make sure the table is now parallel to the cutter head and
retighten the bolts B.
