5.
The variation between one side and the other
should not be greater than 0.004". Repeat
steps 1-4
on the other two knives. Again, the
variation between all three knives should not
be greater than 0.004".
Once you have completed inspection on all three
knives, you will able to determine whether or not
there is a need to adjust the knives in the cutter-
head.

The Model G1037Z Planer/Moulder has a three-
knife cutterhead. The cutterhead is located in the
head casting and rotates on two sealed bearings.
Because of normal use and wear, the knives
must be periodically sharpened, replaced or
adjusted. Adjustment from the factory must also
be checked prior to use due to possible move-
ment during shipment.
To inspect the knives:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2
.
Lower the table and place the gauge block or
a Rotocator under one end of the cutterhead
.
3
.
Remove the V-belt cover and carefully rotate
the belts to turn the cutterhead until one of
the knives is at bottom dead center. Adjust
the cutterhead height until the knife barely
touches the top of the gauge block. Note—
Rock the cutterhead back and forth to deter-
mine bottom dead center.
4
.
Slide the gauge block to the opposite side of
the cutterhead and check the same knife,
rocking back and forth to determine bottom
dead center.
— If the knife does not contact the gauge
block, use a feeler gauge to determine
the difference between one side and the
other. See
Figure 30
.
— If the knife bottoms out on the gauge
block, repeat
steps 1-3
, but start on the
opposite side of the cutterhead
.
When making adjustments, all three knives
must be adjusted the same. DO NOT adjust
one knife without adjusting the others as
well. Improper knife height adjustment can
result in damage to knives, poor
planer/moulder performance and possible
operator injury.
