Aligning the Out Feed Table with the Cutter Block
To ensure accurate results when planing and thicknessing, the in feed
and out feed tables must both be aligned square to the cutter block.
This alignment is carried out during assembly and manufacture and no
adjustment should be needed. If the tables become misaligned due to
damage in transit or misuse (e.g. moving the machine around the workshop
by the tables) then follow the instructions below to realign them.
Place a straight edge on the out feed table at the end of the cutter block
nearest the fence mount, Fig. 12.7, and position the table to be 0.1 mm
(or as close as possible to 0.1 mm) below the blade, as previously described.
Place the straight edge on the out feed table at the opposite end of the
cutter block as shown in Fig. 12.8 and check that the table is at the same
height in relation to the cutter block as at the other end.
If adjustment is needed, remove the protective cover as shown in Fig. 12.9
by removing the 2 Phillips head screws from the top to gain access to the
table levelling bolts, Fig. 12.10.
Adjust the table levelling bolts until the table is aligned square with the
cutter block.

Release the infeed table lock, Fig. 12.6, and adjust the table until it is at
the same height as the outfeed table, Fig. 12.5.
Lock the infeed table in place.
Set the pointer as shown in Fig. 12.6 to 0 on the planing depth of
cut scale.
