Adjusting Gibs |
|
The function of the table gibs is to eliminate | |
excessive play in the table movement. The gibs | |
also control how easy it will be to move the tables | |
up and down. |

Tools Needed | Qty |
Wrench 10mm | 1 |
Hex Wrench 3mm | 1 |
To adjust the table gibs: |
|
1.Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the three infeed table gib nuts on the back of the jointer base (Figure 64).

2.Oil the gibs and table leadscrew if needed (see Page 30).
3.Using a 3mm hex wrench, evenly tighten the gib set screws a small amount, then check the table by moving it up and down. Adjust the set screws as needed until the friction of the table movement is balanced between minimal play and ease of movement.
Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it harder to adjust the tables.
4.Repeat Steps 1-3 with the outfeed table.
5.Set the outfeed table height as described in Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 17.
