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.
