Setting Outfeed Table

Height

The outfeed table height must be even with the cutterhead knives at top dead center. If the outfeed table is set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table

is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.

Setting the outfeed table requires some type of feeler gauge to get the height correct. Because a 0.062" (1⁄16") feeler gauge may be hard to find, you may need to stack two feeler gauges to make up this thickness.

To set the outfeed table height, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2.Check/adjust the table parallelism.

3.Remove the cutterhead guard and fence.

4.Loosen the outfeed table lock located at the front of the machine, and loosen the jam nuts and positive stop bolts located at the back of the machine (see

Figure 50).

5.Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the cutterhead, and lower the outfeed table until the straightedge is 0.062" (1⁄16") above the cutterhead body, as determined by using the feeler gauges (see Figure 56).

6.Tighten the outfeed table lock located at the front of the machine, and tighten the positive stop bolts and jam nuts located at the back of the machine (see Figure 50).

7.Set the knife heights to the new outfeed table height.
