Figure 28. Cutter edge at bottom dead center.
To ensure accurate results and make the adjust- ment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Rotacator (see Page 20) for these adjust- ments.
If a Rotacator is not available, a pair of even-sized wood blocks and a 0.40" feeler gauge can be used, but care must be taken to achieve accurate results.
To set the height of the infeed and outfeed roll- ers and the chip breaker using a Rotacator:
1.DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
G1021X 15" Extreme Series Planer
2.Lower the table at least 4" below the head casting and lock the table in place.
3.Remove the dust port, top cover, and belt cover.
4.Using a Rotacator, find BDC of any carbide insert edge by slowly rocking the cutterhead pulley back and forth, and set the Rotacator dial to zero, as shown in Figure 29.
