ST1007/12/14 15" & 20" Planers (Mfd. Since 3/16)
Figure 66. Block position.
6. Remove the block and place it between the
middle-rear of the head casting and the table.
If there is a gap or it will not fit under the head
casting, measure the difference with a feeler
gauge. If this measurement is more than 0.002",
then the table needs to be adjusted from front
to back.
7. There are two methods to adjust the table on
the Model ST1007/ST1012/ST1014. The first is
for adjustments smaller than 0.016" and the sec-
ond is for adjustments larger than 0.016".
5. Place the block under the front of the head cast-
ing, to either side of the depth limiter tab. Raise
the table up so the block barely touches the
head casting as shown in Figure 66.
To adjust table more than 0.016":
1. Remove the side cabinet plate.
2. On the underside of the table there is a chain
drive and five sprockets as shown in Figure
67. The four sprockets in the corners control
the movement of the table columns. The fifth
sprocket is the idler sprocket that controls the
chain tension. Loosen the two bolts on the idler
sprocket bracket (see Figure 67) to loosen the
chain so that each sprocket can be rotated on its
own. Make sure to hold the chain away from the
sprocket while you adjust it.

3. Moving the sprockets clockwise lowers the table
and moving them counterclockwise raises the
table. Each tooth on the corner sprockets equals
0.016" of vertical movement when the cogs are
turned (See illustration in Figure 68). Make sure,
as you adjust each sprocket, that you count the
number of teeth that pass a fixed point.
