Woodstock W1723, W1724 instruction manual Adjustments

2.Hold the chain away from the sprocket while you turn the sprocket. Make sure, as you adjust each sprocket, that you count the number of teeth that pass a fixed point.

NOTE: As viewed from the underside of planer, moving the sprockets clockwise lowers the cutterhead casting and moving counter-clockwise raises the casting. Each tooth on the corner sprockets equals 0.016" of vertical movement when the sprockets are turned. See Figure 17.

3.After you have the cutterhead casting adjusted to within 0.016" from front-to- back and from side-to-side, tighten the chain so all of the chain slack is removed.

4.Loosen the cutterhead casting mounting screws and use a two-by-four to pry and lift/lower the cutterhead casting until the casting and table are parallel with each other.

NOTE: This adjustment may require some trial and error and two people. One person holds the head casting in position with the two-by-four, and the other tightens the casting mounting screws shown in Figure 15.

5.Adjust each column on both sides until the cutterhead casting is properly set. While adjusting the columns, tighten each screw after each step to ensure accurate results.

•If you have already adjusted the knives on the Model W1723, or you have the Model W1724, go to Page 22 and adjust the feed rollers and chip breaker.
