Figure 22. Recommended bed roller height
above the table surface.
The correct height of the bed rollers will vary,
depending on the type of material you intend to
plane. However, as a general rule, keep the bed
roller height range within the listed range above
the table surface, as illustrated.
When planing rough stock, set the rollers high
to keep the lumber from dragging along the bed.
When planing milled lumber, set the rollers low to
help minimize snipe.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjust-
ment process quicker and easier, we recommend
using a Rotacator (refer to
Accessories) to gauge
the bed roller height from the table surface. If a
Rotacator is not available, a straightedge and feel-
er gauges can be used, but care must be taken to
achieve accurate results.
NOTICE
Bed rollers that are not adjusted to the cor-
rect height or out of alignment with each
other can cause poor finishes, inconsistent
planing thickness, and other undesirable
results.
Figure 23. Location of bed roller height controls
(two on each side of planer table).
4. Rotate eccentric adjustment cams to raise
or lower bed rollers to desired height above
table surface.
5. Verify both sides of each roller are at the
same height, then re-tighten set screws to
secure in place.
6. Re-check roller heights to make sure they did
not change while being secured.
— If roller heights are not correct, repeat this
procedure until they are.

Set Screw
To adjust bed rollers:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Completely lower table to give yourself
enough room to work.
3. Loosen set screw above each of four roller
adjustment cams—there are two on each
side of planer table (see
Figure 23).
