You can adjust the height of the bed rollers according to the material being planed. As a general rule keep the roller height within 0.002"– 0.020" (.050
Misaligned bed rollers can be the root of many planing problems, so care must be taken to achieve precise results side to side along the roller length. To ensure accurate results and make the adjustment process quicker and easier, a dial indicator is recommended. However; if not available, a straightedge and feeler gauges can be used.
Adjusting the bed rollers:
1Ensure machine is switch off and unplugged from power source.
2Lower the table to it’s maximum opening to give
yourself working room below the cutter head.

4Rotate the adjusters to raise or lower the rollers to reach your desired height.

6Double check the roller heights to make sure they did not change when you locked them (if they changed, repeat the procedure). Height must be equal.
