Table Rollers
The table rollers should be set last so they stay
out of the way during the other adjustments.
The required height of the table rollers will
vary depending on the type of stock you intend
to plane.
As a general rule, table roller height should be
between 0.002" and 0.020" above the table (see
Figure 27 ). However, some stock may have
better results outside of these numbers. Often,
a small amount of trial-and-error is required to
find the best table roller height for any
particular stock. Rough stock will plane better
when the rollers are higher, and smooth stock
will have less snipe when the rollers are lower.
To adjust the table roller height, do these
steps:
1. UNPLUG THE PLANER!
2. Place a straightedge across the length of
the table as shown in Figure 28 .
3. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap
between the table surface and the
straightedge, and adjust the table rollers
by loosening the setscrews and then
turning the eccentric to reach the needed
roller height. The gap between the
straightedge and the table should be even
on both sides of the rollers. See
Figure 28
.
