NOTE: This procedure uses a home-made gauge
block and feeler gauges, which should be sufficient
for most planer operations. If more precise
measurements are desired, use a dial indicator
device.
A home-made gauge block can be made out of
hardwood. Figure 8-5 is an example.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Remove top cover.
3. Make sure knives/knife inserts are properly set.
4. Place gauge block (F, Figure 8-7) on table
directly beneath cutterhead (D).
5. Using a 0.032" (0.81mm) feeler gauge (G,
Figure 8-7) placed on top of the gauge block,
lower head until knife just contacts feeler gauge
when knife is at its lowest point. Do not move
head any farther until outfeed roller is adjusted.
6. Remove the feeler gauge and move the gauge
block under one end of the outfeed roller, as
shown in Figure 8-8. The bottom of the outfeed
roller should just touch the top of the gauge
block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller is
necessary, loosen the lock nut (J) and turn
screw (H) until outfeed roller just contacts the
gauge block. Then tighten lock nut (J).
7. Check and adjust opposite end of outfeed roller
in the same manner.
