Delta 22-450 Leveling the Table, Adjusting Table Height Scale, Adjusting and Replacing Knives

LEVELING THE TABLE

The table is set parallel to the cutterhead at the factory and no further adjustment should be necessary. To check if the table is level with the cutterhead, proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2.Check to see if the cutterhead knives are set correctly as explained in section “CHECKING,

ADJUSTING AND REPLACING KNIVES.”

3.Then check to see if the table is set parallel to the cutterhead by placing gage block (A) Fig. 49, directly under the cutterhead on the left hand side of the table as shown. Raise the table until gage block (A) Fig. 49, just touches the cutterhead.

4.Carefully move gage block (A) Fig.50, to the right hand side of the table directly under the cutterhead. The distance from table to cutterhead should be identical.

5.If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead, lower boot (B) Fig. 51, which is located underneath the table. NOTE: Table elevating handwheel must be unlocked when making this adjustment.

6.Loosen lock screw (C) Fig. 51, and with large pliers

(D) turn adjustment sleeve (E) as necessary until table is paralell with the cutterhead. Tighten lock screw (C) after adjustment is made and replace boot (B). NOTE: The same adjustment can also be made on the other side of the planer if necessary.

ADJUSTING TABLE HEIGHT SCALE

The table height scale indicates the distance the table is from the cutting circle (depth of cut). To check and adjust the pointer, proceed as follows:

1.Run a piece of wood through the planer and stop the machine.

2.Measure the thickness of the planed end of the stock as shown in Fig. 52. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen screw (A) Fig. 53, adjust pointer (B) and retighten screw (A).
