Thicknesser Scale Fence Set Up
Fig 24
• Position the fence around half way across the
table & lock in place. Then place a reliable square
on the table & against the fence, just beyond the
cutter block, see fig 24.
• Check to see if the fence is square (90deg) to
the table, if not adjustments are made by firstly
unlocking the fence tilt clamp handle, then slacken
the adjuster screw lock nut, see fig 25. If a gap is at
the top of the square then wind the adjuster Hex
screw out, if the gap is at the bottom then wind the
adjuster screw in. Ensure that all is locked in place
once adjustments have been made then set the
pointer to zero, see fig 26.

• Following the planing/thicknessing operation
instructions on page 10. Machine a piece of timber
so that it has two clean & parallel faces, at this point
leave the thicknessing table locked in position, see
fig 27. Accurately measure the dimension of the
timber across those faces then set both the digital
scale & pointer scale to that dimension, see fig 28-29.
