Figure 65. Gauge block plans.
The table has been pre-set at the factory, but it is a
good idea to check any machine thoroughly before
use.
There are two directions you should be concerned
about. When checking/adjusting the table, the table
should be parallel with the head casting from front-
to-back, and the table should be parallel with the
cutterhead body from side-to-side.
To adjust table parallelism:
1. MAKE SURE MACHINE IS UNPLUGGED!
2. Use the plans shown in Figure 65 to make a
wooden gauge block.

Parallelism
3. Place the block on one end of the table, directly
under the cutterhead body. Raise the table up
so the block only touches the cutterhead body
(keep knives rotated out of the way for this step).
4. Without moving the table, slide the block of
wood to the other end of the cutterhead. If the
block of wood will not fit, or if the block is below
the cutterhead body, measure this gap with
a feeler gauge. If the difference is more than
0.002", then the table needs to be adjusted from
left to right.
Positioning Chip
Deflector
When properly distanced from the cutterhead, the
chip deflector directs the chips into the dust hood,
and keeps them from falling onto the outfeed roller
and being pressed into the workpiece.

To adjust chip deflector gap:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove dust hood, top cover, and belt cover.
3. Use cutterhead pulley to rotate cutterhead until
a knife/insert reaches closest distance to chip
deflector (see Figure 64), then measure dis-
tance between knife/insert and chip deflector.
4. If distance measured in Step 3 is
not
equal to
1
⁄
4
", then loosen flange screws that secure chip
deflector and adjust gap to
1
⁄
4
".
5. Re-tighten flange screws, then replace belt
cover, top cover, and dust hood.
