Planer Table Adjustment

Disconnect machine from

power source before making any adjustments.

Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

Checking Planer Table Parallel to Cutterhead

The planer table is set parallel to the cutterhead at

the factory and no further adjustment should be

needed. If your machine is planing a taper, first

check to see if the knives are properly adjusted in

the cutterhead (see Setting Cutterhead Knives on

page 14) and make adjustments if necessary.

After the knives are confirmed to be properly set,

check to see if the work table is set parallel to the

cutterhead as follows.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Rotate the cutterhead such that one of the

knife blades (A, Fig. 14) is at the 6 o'clock

position.

Referring to Figure 15:

3. Place a gauge block (B) or another measuring

device on the work table (C) at one edge (D)

directly under the cutterhead.

4. Unlock the table lock handle (F).

5. With the handwheel (G), gently raise the

table (C) until the gauge block (B) makes

slight contact with the tip of the knife blade,

then lock the table.

6. Move the gauge block (B) to opposite end of

table (E).

If the distance from the table to tip of the knife

blade is the same at both ends, the table is

parallel to the cutterhead.

Adjusting Work Table Parallel to Cutterhead

If the work table is not parallel to the cutterhead,

perform the adjustment procedure as follows:

7. With a 13mm wrench, loosen four hex cap

screws (H) located at each corner of the

column support (J).

8. Bring the table parallel to the cutterhead by

adjusting four setscrews (K) located at each

corner of the column support (J) next to the

hex cap screws (H).

9. Repeat steps 3 – 6, and if further adjustment

is necessary, repeat steps 8, 9.

10. When the table is determined to be parallel to

the cutterhead, tighten the hex cap screws

(H).
