8.Place the straightedge in one of the posi- tions shown in Figure 50, and adjust the eccentric bushings under the infeed table so the straightedge lies flat against both tables. Repeat this step with each of the remaining straightedge positions as many times as nec- essary until the infeed table is parallel with the outfeed table.

9.Tighten the set screws and replace the cov- ers on the infeed table.

10.Set the outfeed table height (refer to Setting Outfeed Table on Page 15).

11.Reinstall the cutterhead guard and fence.

The cutterhead is equipped with 36 indexable car- bide inserts. Each insert can be rotated to reveal any one of its four cutting edges. Therefore, if one cutting edge becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate it 90˚ to reveal a fresh cutting edge (Figure 55).

Reference Dot

In addition, each insert has a reference dot on one corner. As the insert is rotated, the reference dot location can be used as an indicator of which edges are used and which are new. When the reference dot revolves back around to its starting position, the insert should be replaced.

To rotate or change a carbide insert:

1.Disconnect JOINTER from power!

2.Remove any sawdust from the head of the carbide insert Torx screw.

3.Remove the Torx screw and carbide insert.

4.Clean all dust and dirt off the insert and the cutterhead pocket from which the insert was removed, and replace the insert so a fresh, sharp edge is facing outward.

Note: Proper cleaning is critical to achieving a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped between the insert and cutterhead will slightly raise the insert, and make noticeable marks on your workpieces the next time you cut.

5.Lubricate the Torx screw threads with a light machine oil, wipe the excess oil off the threads, and torque the Torx screw to 48-50 inch/pounds.

Note: Excess oil may squeeze between the insert and cutterhead or in the screw hole, thereby lifting the insert or screw slightly and affecting workpiece finishes.
