A chipbreaker set too low or 

with excessive tension may prevent stock 
from feeding into the machine.

 

Pressure Bar 

Most planing problems can be traced to 
improper setting of the pressure bar. Its function 
is to hold down the material after it passes under 
the cutterhead and throughout the remainder of 
the cut. Its basic setting is to be in line with the 
arc of the cutterhead knives. 

If it is too high, a shallow “clip” will occur at each 
end of the board. If it is too low, stock will not 
feed through. 

Use a gauge to set the full length of the 
pressure bar to be .000-.001” (.02mm) below the 
arc of the cutterhead. Figure 11 shows the 
height adjustment screw (D) and the spring 
tension adjustment screw (E) for the pressure 
bar. This initial setup is a starting point and final 
adjustment may have to be made during a test 
cut. 

Outfeed Rollers 

The two outfeed rollers are of smooth, one-piece 
construction to help avoid marring the finished 
surface of the material being cut. Their function 
is to continue to feed the material through the 
machine after it leaves the infeed roller. The 
correct free position setting is 1/32” (.8mm) 
below the arc of the cutterhead knives. 

Use a gauge, such as a bed and feed roll gauge 
or wood gauge block, to check the outfeed 
rollers in the same manner as the infeed roller.  

Adjust as necessary using the screws (F, Figure 
11). When finished adjusting, tighten the hex 
nuts on the screws (F, Figure 11). 

Table Rollers 

The Planer has two table rollers which help 
reduce friction of the stock on the table as it 
feeds through the machine. It is not possible to 
give exact height setting of the table rollers 
because each type of wood behaves differently. 
As a general rule, however, the table rollers 
should be set high when planing rough stock, 
and set low for finish cuts.  

The planer is equipped with a quick-set table 
roller adjustment. With a single lever, you can 
raise the rollers from their finishing board height 
to a roughing board height. See Figure 12. The 
range is 0.00 to 0.05”. 

To adjust the height of the table rollers, loosen 
the lock handle (Figure 12) and turn the quick-
set lever. Re-tighten the lock handle to lock the 
setting.
