FEED ROLLER HEIGHT
Fig. 16
The infeed and outfeed rollers are responsible for
moving the workpiece through the machine and press-
ing the workpiece flat against the main table.
1. Lower the table so the gauge block(A) fits under one
side of the infeed roller (B).
2. Raise the table until the gauge block just barely
touches one side of the infeed roller.
3. Push the gauge block through so that it is under the
edge of one of the knives.
4. Turn the cutterhead (C) by hand using the pulley
until one of the knives are in its lowest position.
5. Using a feeler gauge, check the clearance between
the top of the gauge block and the edge of the knife.
Clearance should be .040 .
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the opposite side of the roller.
7. Repeat this same process for the outfeed roller, If
any adjustment is necessary continue on to step 8.
8. Remove the gear box cover to access the roller
adjustments on the drive chain side on the planer.
One socket head cap screw holds the drive chain
cover in place.
There are two metal guard plates bolted to the
backside of the gear box cover. It may be necessary to
remove one of these guards in order to remove the
gear box cover.

FEED ROLLER PRESSURE
9. Loosen the roller adjustment check nuts (D) to
change the height of the roller.
10. When the roller is set in the correct position, re-
tighten the check nuts from step 9.
11. Recheck roller height and repeat steps 8-10 if
necessary.
Infeed and outfeed roller pressure is an important
aspect of any planer. When the workpiece is fed
through the planer, the correct amount of pressure will
help ensure that the board does not slip (too little
pressure) or does not jam (too much pressure).
Excessive pressure may damage workpiece
It's important to note that different lumber will require
varying amounts of pressure, so you may have to
experiment with different settings. While some rough
cut lumber will go through the planer with little trouble
at one pressure setting. Other pieces may have some
more difficulty.
Adjusting the roller pressure does not affect
height.
1. Before adjusting roller pressure, ensure that the
knives and feed rollers are set correctly.
2. Unscrew the four large pressure set screws (A and
B) on the top of the planer body.
