To adjust the height of the infeed roller, pres-
sure bar, and outfeed rollers using wood
blocks and a feeler gauge:
1. Build the wood blocks by cutting a STRAIGHT
6' foot long 2" x 4" in half.
Note: Having the wood blocks at an even
height is critical to the accuracy of your over
-
all adjustments. For best results, remove
board warpage by squaring the stock with a
jointer and table saw before cutting in half.
2. Make sure the cutterhead and table are paral-
lel, and the cutterhead is at BDC. Reference
Table Parallelism on
Page 36.
3. DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM
POWER!
4. Lower the table rollers below the surface of
the table.
5. Place one wood block along the left side of
the table, and place the other wood block
along the right side of the table, as illustrated
in Figure 35.
6. Raise the headstock cover.
7. Using the handwheel, adjust the table and
use the feeler gauge until there is a 0.020"
gap between the edge of a carbide insert at
BDC (reference instructions on
Page 37) and
the wood blocks.
Figure 35. Wood blocks on planer table.
8. Lock the table elevation in place, as the wood
blocks will now be your reference points for
the rest of the adjustments.
9. Loosen the infeed roller jam nut and turn the
set screw (see
Figure 32) on each end of
the infeed roller to raise it above the wood
block.
10. Turn the set screws back down so the infeed
roller just touches the wood blocks on both
sides.
11. Tighten the jam nuts, making sure the set
screws do not move while tightening.
12. Without moving the table, adjust the pressure
bar (
Figure 33) and outfeed rollers (Figure
34) in the same manner, using the wood
blocks as the reference point.
Note: The pressure bar should be at the
same height as the cutterhead. You will
need the feeler gauge with the wood blocks
to ensure that it is at the same height as the
cutterhead with the carbide insert at BDC
(reference Distances Below Cutterhead at
BDC at the beginning of these procedures).
