ADJUSTMENTS

MAKING THE CUTTERHEAD AND WORKTABLE PARALLEL

Plane a workpiece and measure the workpiece thickness after the cut. If the thickness is not the same on both sides of the workpiece, perform

the following.

Adjust the cutter shaft and the worktable so they are parallel. The tools used for checking are shown below. Please use hardwood to make a tool

gauge block according to the sizes (mm) shown in the figure below. Place the block between the cutterhead and the bed and then make the

adjustment as per the following procedures.

1. Underneath the main table, loosen the “C” circlip as shown below.

2. Disengage the bevel gear next to the circlip.   

3. Turn the bevel gear to adjust the height of that side of the cutterhead. One turn of a tooth counterclockwise gives 0.12mm raising thickness.

4. After adjustment, re-engage the bevel gear and replace the “C” circlip.

5. Reverify the adjustment on both sides of the table with your gauge block, readjust if necessary.
