Note whether the reading is less than or greater than the right side.
If greater on the left side, the right side of the table must be raised;
if less, left side of the table must be raised. With the indicator or
gage block under whichever side that must be raised, loosen the set
screw locking the threaded flange nut (Fig. 6) from rotation in the
table on the side to be raised. Rotate the nut by using a plier and
raise that side of the table until the indicator reading or drag feel on
the gage block is the same on both sides. Relock the flange nut
setscrew in the table. Another method that can be used if the table is
free is to loosen the set screw on the high side of the table and then
rotating the table handwheel raising the opposite side until it is level.
Relock the flange nut setscrew in the table.

5-2 Infeed Roll:
The function of the infeed roll is to feed the material into the machine. It is a corrugated roll and when sectionalized is made up of one inch
(25.4mm) wide sections with 1/4" (6.4mm) movement in each section to accommodate multiple board surfacing. In addition, the whole
assembly is spring loaded to accommodate the full depth of cut. To provide proper drive, it should be set so that the bottom of its arc is -32/"
(2.38mm) below the arc of the cutter head knives. Puting gage block or a short piece of finished 2 x 4 lumber notched on the table then place
on edge under one knife of the cutterhead, raise the table with the table raising handwheel and rock the cutterhead back and forth until it just
touches the gage block or 2 x 4. Lower the table 1/16" (1.6mm) and move the 2 x 4 or gage block under the extreme right hand side of the
infeed roll. If it will not go in the roll must be raised. If clearing, it must be lowered. Using the adj. screw provided (Fig. 7) unlock the nut and
adjust as required so that the roll just touches. Move the 2 x 4 to the extreme left side and adjust that side as required until the roll just touches
the gage.
