Q. Can I use other miter gauges in the X31 miter slot?

Q. Is there a wide dado throat plate for the X31?
A. Yes, you can order this through Customer Service.
Q. Where do I adjust the positive stops for the saw tilt?
A. One is located up under the saw table to the left of the saw raise handle, and the other is to
the right of the saw raise handle up under the table.
JOINTER
Q. What kind of wax do I use on the tables and where do I get it?
A. Laguna Tools sells a product called EZ wax that is ideal, or use any other Carnuba-based
waxes.
Q. I cannot get the jointer tables level. How can they be leveled?
A. You will need a machinists straight edge of at least 36” to complete the process correctly.
Leave the handle (#C432) in the unlocked position when setting the tables and when running
wood through the machine. Do not touch the bolts No C460.
Lower the infeed table below the cutter head so that we deal with the outfeed table and cutter
head first.
Place the straight edge on the outfeed table far left (Fig. A) and turn the cutter-head with your hand
so that the round of the cutter (not the knife) is pointing up. Make sure the straight edge just touches
the cutter head. Now slide the straight edge to position B and make sure the straight edge also just
touches the cutter head. If your straight edge does not touch the cutter head, adjustment should be
made using bolts No N1546. Then loosen slightly and move the table to make it level across the
12”.
Using the knob No N8358 to rail the jointer tables, raise the outfeed table so it clears the cutter head
and infeed table. Now place the straight edge on the infeed table and over to outfeed table, check-
ing (C) and (D) sides so it is level with the outfeed. Use only bolts N0 N5146 for adjustment.
When you are done, lower the tables to the correct height for the amount of material you want to
remove.
Q. How do I mount the jointer guard to the table?
A. Using the two 6mm screws that are mounted to the guard base, screw them evenly to the
machined surface located at the side edge of the outfeed jointer table.
