outfeed table is parallel with cutterhead.

—If the straightedge touches the cutterhead and sits flat across the outfeed table in each position, then the outfeed table is already parallel with the cutterhead. Check the infeed table to make sure that it is par- allel with the outfeed table.

—If the straightedge does not touch the cutterhead and sit flat on the outfeed table in any of the positions, then the outfeed table is not parallel with the cutterhead. Correct the outfeed table parallelism, then correct the infeed table parallelism.
