Feed Roller Height
The infeed and outfeed rollers propel the lumber through the planer. The rollers also press the lumber flat against the planer table.
Set the infeed and outfeed rollers 0.040" below the knife edge at bottom dead center.
TO CHECK ROLLER HEIGHT:
1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.Lower the table so the gauge block will fit under one side of the infeed roller.
3.Raise the table until the gauge block barely touches the infeed roller. See Figure 19. Do not change position of the table.
4.Slide the gauge block over so it is under the edge of one of the knives. Turn the cutter- head until one of the knives is at bottom dead center over the gauge block.
5.Measure the clearance between the top of the gauge block and the edge of the knife with a feeler gauge. Note the measurement indicated on the feeler gauge.
