Table Rollers

Two table rollers (A, Fig. 14) ease stock movement as it is fed through the planer. The height of the rollers is dependent on the type of wood being planed. When planing rough stock, set the rollers slightly high to keep the lumber from dragging along the table. Smooth lumber should be planed with the rollers set just above the plane of the table.

Figure 14

The two table rollers are preset at the factory at 0.004" above the table. The height adjustment range is from 0 to 0.06" (Fig. 15).

To adjust the rollers (refer to Figure 16):

1.Disconnect machine from power source.

2.Select a side (left or right) and lay a steel ruler or straightedge across both rollers (A).

3.On the side selected, loosen the screws (B) with an Allen wrench, and turn the eccentric shafts (C) (12mm hex head adjustment) to raise or lower the rollers to the desired level. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance between the table and the bottom of the straightedge.

4.When the proper height is achieved, tighten screws (B).

Adjust the rollers from the opposite side of the table in the same manner.

Important: Measure in several places. This measurement must be consistent across the entire table.
