The height of the bed rollers will vary, depend- ing on the type of material you intend to plane, but as a general rule keep the roller height within 0.002"–0.020" above the table. When planing rough stock, set the rollers high to keep the lum- ber from dragging along the bed. When planing milled lumber, set the rollers low to help minimize snipe.

To ensure accurate results and make the adjust- ment process quicker and easier, we recommend using a Rotacator (see Page 21) to gauge the bed roller height from the table. If a Rotacator is not available, a straightedge and feeler gauges can be used, but extra care must be taken to achieve satisfactory results.

Note: Misaligned bed rollers can cause workpiece chatter, a washboard surface, uneven workpiece feeding, or binding.

To adjust the bed rollers:

1.Lower the table to give yourself at least 4" of working room below the cutterhead.

2.Loosen the locking set screws (Figure 14) above the roller adjusters (4 total).

3.Raise or lower the rollers by rotating the adjusters to reach your desired height.

4.Verify both sides of the bed roller are at the same height and lock them in position with the locking set screws.

5.Double check the roller heights to make sure they did not move when you locked them (if they did, repeat the procedure).
