Feed Rollers, Chip

Breaker & Pressure

Bar

The feed rollers, the chip breaker and the pressure bar are factory set for general planing. If you need to alter the settings or reset them after maintenance, these components can be adjusted at the same time, assuming that the knife height is set correctly. The standard setting for the infeed roller, the chipbreaker and the pressure bar is .004"-.008" below the cutterhead knife at bottom dead center. The outfeed roller should be set to .020" below the cutterhead knife at bottom dead center.

To adjust the feed rollers, the chip breaker and the pressure bar:

1.Unplug the machine from the power source!

2.You will need two boards that are the same height and are long enough to span the entire length of the table. An easy way to get two boards of the same height is to rip one board down the middle.

3.Place each board across the entire length of the table, on each side of the table, similar to Figure 19.

4.Rotate the cutterhead with the V-belt pulley so one of the knives is at bottom dead center. Bottom dead center is the furthest point down that the knife reaches in its rotation. The black line underneath the cutterhead in Figure 20 represents bottom dead center.

5.Raise the table up until the boards barely touch the knife edge.

6.Lower the feed rollers onto the boards with the adjustment controls shown in Figure 21.
