Figure 18. Illustrates the use of a straightedge to ensure proper outfeed adjustment.
4.Loosen the table lock handle and raise or lower the table with the lever until the straight- edge barely touches one of the knives. Rock the cutterhead to ensure that the blade is at the highest point of its arc. Check the other two blades in the same manner. If they do not all touch the straightedge evenly, they are not at the same height. You must reset the knives. Be sure to test the height at both ends of the cutter knives. The knives must be parallel to the table surface.
5.Adjust the stop bolt until it touches the cast base. Tighten the table lock handle.
6.Tighten the checknut, loosen the table lock handle, and move the table down with the lever – then up against the stop. Check the accuracy of the stop setting with a straight- edge over the cutterhead and fine tune if nec- essary.
Infeed Table
1.Loosen the jam nut and unscrew the table stop bolt out 3 or 4 turns. See Figure 19.
2.Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the infeed table. Turn the cutter- head so that the knives are NOT touching the straightedge.
3.Loosen the infeed table lock handle. Raise the infeed table until it just touches the straight- edge. Tighten the table lock handle.
4.Turn the stop bolt until it makes contact with the base casting.
5.Tighten the jam nut, loosen the table lock han- dle, and move the table up and down to check your settings. Align the depth of cut scale to read zero.
