Figure 11. Bed roller height range.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjust- ment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Rotacator (see Page 20) to gauge the bed roller height from the table. If a Rotacator is not available, a straightedge and feeler gauges can be used, but care must be taken to achieve satisfactory results.
Note: Misaligned bed rollers can be the root of many planing problems, such as:
•Workpiece chatter and/or noisy operation
•Washboard surfaces
•Workpiece rotating during planing
•Tapered cuts
•Binding, causing the workpiece to jam
