Setting Outfeed
Table Height
To help ensure safe operation and best cutting
results, set the outfeed table height level with the
knives/inserts when they are at top-dead-center
(TDC). If the outfeed table is set too low, the
workpiece will be tapered from front to back or
there will be snipe (a gouge in end of board that
is uneven with rest of cut). If the outfeed table is
set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of
the outfeed table during operation, increasing the
chance of kickback.
