Extension Rollers
The extension roller assemblies are identical for both the infeed and the outfeed ends of the table. To help minimize snipe, you may have to adjust the extension rollers periodically so they are approximately 0.030" above the table.
To mount the extension rollers, do these steps:
1.Loosen the setscrews where the table rollers mount to the planer body (on both ends) as shown in Figure 6.
2.Use a wrench to lower the rollers on their eccentric shafts
3.Position the extension roller assemblies on the planer table, and install the
4.Place a straightedge across the table and the extension rollers as shown in Figure 7.
5.Turn the adjustment setscrews shown in Figure 8, so the extension roller assemblies are flush with the table surface as indicated by the straightedge.
6.Tighten the mounting bolts to secure the extension bar in place. See Figure 8.
The top of the rollers should now be completely even with the top of the table.
DO NOT adjust the table rollers you previously retracted into the planer table, because the final set of adjustments will be explained in the ADJUSTMENTS section.
