Inspect / Adjust Jointer Tables
Each jointer has been inspected and calibrated in the factory and should not require adjustments initially.
When a jointer consistently makes problematic cuts, perform these checks, and make adjustments as
needed.
Inspect Outfeed Table Height
1. Disconnect the jointer from the power
source!!
2. Put on leather gloves.
3. Remove cutterhead guard.
4. Move fence assembly all the way back to
expose the entire table.
5. Place a straight edge over the centerline of
the outfeed table so it hangs over the
cutterhead.
6. When the outfeed table height is properly
set, cutters should be barely scraping the
straight edge when the cutterhead rotates.
Follow the next section to make adjustments
as needed.
If the outfeed table height is set properly, jump
to section “ Inspect Outfeed Table Parallelism ” .
Adjust Outfeed Table Height
1. Disconnect the jointer from the power
source!!
2. Loosen the cap screw that locks the outfeed
table.
3. Adjust outfeed table height with the lever.
Place a straight edge sitting on the outfeed
table. When the outfeed table height is set
correctly, the cutters should be barely
touching the straight edge when the
cutterhead rotates.
4. After the outfeed table is adjusted, tighten
the locking cap screw to lock it in place.
