G1037Z 13" Planer/Moulder
-35-
If the infeed and outfeed rollers are not 0.08"
below the cutterhead knife edge at bottom dead
center, or if the rollers are not the same height on
both sides, the roller height must be adjusted.
To adjust roller height:
1.
Slide the gauge block so it is under the edge
of one of the knives. Turn the cutterhead until
one of the knives is at bottom dead center
over the gauge block.
2.
Place a feeler gauge (0.08") on the gauge
block, and raise the table until the gauge
block and feeler gauge touch the knives at
bottom dead center.
3.
Remove the feeler gauge and place the
gauge block under the infeed rollers.
4.
Loosen the locknut shown in
Figure 34
and
move the threaded adjuster until the infeed
roller rests on top of the gauge block.

Tools Needed:
Gauge Block (Not included) ..............................1
Feeler Gauge (Not included)..............................1
The infeed and outfeed rollers move the lumber
through the planer/moulder, and press the lum-
ber flat against the work table.
For use as a planer set the infeed and outfeed
rollers to 0.08" below the cutterhead knife edge at
bottom dead center. For use as a moulder follow
the instructions on
pages 23
and
24
.
To check roller height:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2.
Raise the table until the gauge block barely
touches the infeed roller. See
Figure 33
.

3.
Slide the gauge block over so it is under the
edge of one of the knives. Turn the cutter-
head until one of the knives is at bottom dead
center over the gauge block.
4.
Measure the clearance between the top of
the gauge block and the edge of the knife
with a feeler gauge. Feeler gauge measure-
ment should be between 0.08" .
5.
Repeat
steps 1-5
for the opposite side of the
roller. Repeat all steps for the outfeed roller.
5.
When the infeed roller is set in the correct
position, retighten the locknuts you loosened
in
step 4
above.
6.
Check your settings one last time and repeat
steps 1-4
if necessary.
7.
Repeat for the other side of the infeed roller,
and repeat the entire process for the outfeed
roller.
