For safe and proper cutting results, the tables
must be parallel to the cutterhead. Adjusting them
to be parallel is a task of precision and patience,
and may take up to one hour to complete. Luckily,
this is considered a permanent adjustment and
should not need to be repeated for the life of the
machine.
Due to the complex nature of this task, we rec-
ommend that you double check the current table
positions to make sure that they really need to be
adjusted before starting.
Each table has four eccentric bushings on the
base underneath that allow the table to be adjust-
ed parallel. Each bushing is locked in place by a
set screw.
The correct order for adjusting the table parallel-
ism is to first adjust the outfeed table parallel with
the cutterhead, then adjust the infeed table paral-
lel with the outfeed table.
When setting the outfeed table, all measurements
MUST be made from the cutterhead body—not
the knives/inserts or the results may be skewed.
IMPORTANT: The following steps are intended
to be performed directly after the steps involved
in checking the outfeed table parallelism. Do not
continue until you have performed those steps.
To adjust table parallelism:
1. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs
over cutterhead, and lower outfeed table until
straightedge just touches cutterhead body,
as shown in
Figure 48.

2. Remove outfeed table covers by removing
plugs (see
Figure 49) and accessing cap
screws that secure covers to table, and then
loosen set screws from eccentric bolts under
outfeed table (see
Figure 49).

3. Place straightedge in one of the positions
shown in
Figure 50, and adjust eccentric
bushings so straightedge touches cutterhead
body while lying flat across outfeed table (a
small hammer and punch may be necessary
to turn eccentric bushings).

edge position as many times as necessary
until outfeed table is parallel with cutterhead.
