Planer Table Adjustment
Checking Planer Table Parallel to Cutterhead
The planer table is set parallel to the cutterhead by the manufacturer and no further adjustment
is typically necessary. If your machine is planing a taper, adjust if needed.
After the inserts are confirmed to be properly set, check to see if the work table is set parallel to
the cutterhead as follows.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place a gauge block (B) or another measuring
device on the work table (C) at one edge (D)
directly under the cutterhead.
3. Unlock the table lock handle (F).
4. With the handwheel (G), gently raise the table
(C) until the gauge block (B) makes slight
contact with the tip of the knife blade, then
lock the table.
5. Move the gauge block (B) to opposite end of
table (E).
6. If the distance from the table to tip of the knife
blade is the same at both ends, the table is
parallel to the cutterhead.
Adjusting Work Table Parallel to Cutterhead
If the work table is not parallel to the cutterhead,
perform the adjustment procedure as follows:
7. With a 13mm wrench, loosen four hex cap
screws (H) located at each corner of the
column support (J).
8. Bring the table parallel to the cutterhead by adjusting four setscrews (K) located at each
corner of the column support (J) next to the hex cap screws (H).
9. Repeat steps 3
– 6, and if further adjustment is necessary, repeat steps 8, 9.
When the table is determined to be parallel to the cutterhead, tighten the hex cap screws (H).
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Blades are extremely sharp! Use caution when cleaning or changing. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
