Figure 27.
Straightedge centered on outfeed
table and even with knife at top dead center.
5.
Place a good quality straightedge across the
length of the outfeed table and just over
the cutterhead as shown in
Figure 27
. (This
adjustment works best if the straightedge is
placed in the center of the outfeed table.)
6.
Using the handwheel under the outfeed
table, raise or lower the outfeed table until
the straightedge barely touches the edge of
the knife.
7.
Move the cutterhead back and forth to ver-
ify that it is still positioned at top dead cen-
ter.
8.
Tighten the table lock handle and double
check your adjustment for accuracy.
After adjusting the outfeed table and ensuring
its accuracy, it can be left alone until the next
time you adjust the knives or if you notice that
it might have moved. The infeed table, on the
other hand, will regularly be adjusted to set the
cutting depth.
To adjust the infeed table:
1.
Loosen the infeed table lock handle.
2.
Place a good quality straightedge in the
center and along the length of the outfeed
table.
3.
Slide the straightedge over the infeed table.
4.
Raise the infeed table so it barely touches
the bottom of the straightedge as shown in
Figure 28
.
5.
Secure the infeed table with the lock handle
and set the pointer on the depth scale to
“0” as shown in
Figure 29
. You can now use
the scale to adjust your depth of cut when
it is time to operate the jointer.
