TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
The planer table is raised and lowered by twin screws supported on bearings, and is guided
by machined surfaces on the side panels. The fit- up to prevent the table from rocking is
controlled by gibs. These gibs should be adjusted individually using the three gib screws
provided so that the ways are lightly contacting on all four surfaces. The gibs should be tight
enough to prevent rocking or movement of the table when the planer is in operation.
To perform accurate planing the table must be
parallel with the cutterhead. Lack of parallelism
results in a taper over the width of the board.
To check parallelism do the following:
1. Place a gauge on the table and contacting a knife
insert at the apex of its arc, Do this at each end of
the cutterhead and compare the measurements.
2. If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead, place
the gauge at the end that needs to be raised.
3. Loosen the three socket head cap screws (A)
beneath the table.
4. Place a rod-like object (such as a hex wrench)
into one of the open holes (B) and turn the shaft
(C) to raise the table until the gauge reads the
proper measurement. Or, the same effect can be
achieved by lowering the other side of the table.
5. Re-tighten the socket head cap screws (A).
