Moving Bed Rollers

In order to perform table adjustments, the bed rollers must be adjusted below the surface of the table.

To move the bed rollers:

1.Loosen the setscrews where the bed rollers mount to the planer body (on both ends) as shown in Figure 9.

2.Use a wrench to lower the rollers on their eccentric shafts.

Leave the bed rollers in this position until instructed to adjust them at the end of this section.

Table

The most critical adjustments made on your new planer are dependent on the table being parallel to the cutterhead body. Because of this relationship, checking the table is the first step to setting up an accurate planer.

There are two movements you should be concerned about when checking/adjusting the table—the table should be parallel to the head casting from front-to-back, and the table should be parallel with the cutterhead body from side- to-side.

The table has been pre-set at the factory, but it is a good idea to check any machine thoroughly before use.

To check the table:

1.Make sure machine is unplugged!

2.Make the gauge shown in Figure 10 out of a block of wood.
