3.Place the block on one end of the table, directly under the cutterhead body. Raise the table up so the block only touches the cutterhead body (keep knives rotated out of the way for this step).

4.Without moving the table, slide the block of wood to the other end of the cutterhead. If the block of wood will not fit, or if the block is below the cutterhead body, measure this gap with a feeler gauge. If the difference is more than .002", then the table needs to be adjusted from left to right.

5.Place the block under the front of the head casting, to either side of the depth limiter tab. Raise the table up so the block barely touches the head casting as shown in Figure 11.

6.Remove the block and place it between the middle-rear of the head casting and the table. If there is a gap or it will not fit under the head casting, measure the difference with a feeler gauge. If this measurement is more than .002", then the table needs to be adjusted from front to back.

7.There are two methods to adjust the table on the Model W1683. The first is for adjustments smaller than .016" and the second is for adjustments larger than .016".

To adjust the table less than .016":

1.Use the table mounting screws shown in Figure 12. Loosen the screws and lift/lower the table until the table and the cutterhead body are parallel with each other and the table is parallel with the head casting from front to back. This may require some trial and error.

2.Adjust each column on both sides until the table is properly set. While adjusting the columns, tighten each screw after each step
