Table Rollers

The height of the table rollers will vary, depending on the type of material you intend to plane. When planing rough stock, you will need to set the roll- ers high to keep the lumber from dragging along the table. Milled lumber should be planed with the rollers set lower.

To adjust the table rollers correctly:

1.Loosen the lock on the adjustment lever shown in Figure 17. Pull the lever up to raise the table rollers.

2.Determine the appropriate height for the type of stock you are using.

The scale at the base of the adjustment lever is numbered “0”, “1” and “2”. These numbers represent how many millimeters the top of the rollers are above the surface of the table.

Since 1mm = .03937", figure that each notch on the scale is approximately .004". The ideal tolerance for the height of the table roll- ers is between .002"-.016".

Note—If the table rollers are too high, snipe or chipping may occur at the ends of the workpiece. Only use the higher settings for rough cut lumber. If you are unsure about which height to use, experiment on scrap lumber by using the trial and error method. Always start at the smaller tolerances and work up.

3.Pull the adjustment lever up to the appro- priate scale marks. Secure the adjustment lever by tightening the lock.
