10.9 Feed roller pressure adjustment
Refer to Figure 15.
The pressure of the feed rollers against the
workpiece during planing operations is maintained
by spring tension. To adjust this tension, turn the
socket head screw (B, Figure 15), clockwise to
increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
10.10 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 by
the manufacturer 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 sect. 10.3, Setting cutterhead
knives) 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
knives (A, Fig. 16) is at the 6 o'clock position.
Refer to Figure 17:
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.
When the table is determined to be parallel to the
cutterhead, tighten the hex cap screws (H).
