Checking Table Parallelism
1. Use a vacuum cleaner and shop rag to clean
table and frame at each corner so sawdust
will not interfere with measurements during
following steps.
2. Adjust table elevation until it is approximately
6" below sanding belt.
3. Take precise measurement of wood block
(approx. 4" long) and record measurement.
If a table adjustment is needed, take precise
notes on the positioning of the table elevation
flanges, sprockets, and leadscrews by marking
them. This will allow the original setting to be
restored if needed.
Table parallelism has been adjusted at the fac-
tory and should not require adjustment when the
machine is new.
We only recommend adjusting table parallelism
if absolutely necessary due to factors that may
cause the factory setting to change.
Adjusting
the table parallelism can take a fair amount of
patience.
DO NOT adjust the table unless you
are having trouble sanding your workpiece to
a uniform thickness and have eliminated all
other possible causes.
The four corners of the table can be independent-
ly adjusted up or down to achieve parallelism with
the frame by adjusting the elevation leadscrew
flanges (see
Figure 74) or repositioning the table
elevation sprockets (see
Figure 75).
