W1754 20" Planer With Mobile Base

Rollers, Breaker &

Pressure Bar Heights

Depending upon the type of wood, feed rate, and depth of cut, you may have to vary the below adjustments a few thousands of an inch. No single adjustment works for all wood, feed rates or depths of cuts.

To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment pro- cess quicker and easier, we recommend using a Rotacator (see Page 21) for these adjustments.

If a Rotacator is not available, a 6' 2x4 cut into two even sized pieces and a feeler gauge set can be used, but care must be taken when jointing the blocks to achieve accu- rate results.

Distance Below Knife Edge at *BDC:

 

Infeed Roller

0.040"

Chip Breaker

0.040"

Pressure Bar

0.008"

Outfeed Roller

0.020"

*BDC = Bottom Dead Center (see Figure 28).

To set the height of the infeed and outfeed rollers, chip breaker, and pressure bar using a Rotacator, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Make sure the knives are set correctly with the knife gauge.

3.Lower the table at least 4" below the headstock and lock the table in place.

4.Remove the dust hood, top cover, and V-belt cover.

5.Using your Rotacator, find BDC of any knife edge by slowly rocking the cutterhead pulley back and forth, and set the Rotacator dial to zero, as shown in

Figure 29.

6.Place the Rotacator under the right-hand side of the infeed roller, and find bottom dead center on a serrated edge by rocking the infeed roller back and forth.
