To adjust the bed rollers:
1. disConnECt plAnEr FroM poWEr!
2. lower the table to give yourself at least 4" of
working room below the cutterhead.
3. loosen the locking set screws (figure 18)
above the roller adjusters (4 total).
4. raise or lower the rollers by rotating the
adjusters to reach your desired height.
5. verify both sides of the bed roller are at the
same height and lock them in position with
the locking set screws.
6. double check the roller heights to make sure
they did not move when you locked them (if
they did, repeat the procedure).

the height of the bed rollers will vary, depend-
ing on the type of material you intend to plane,
however, as a general rule, keep the roller height
within 0.002"–0.020" above the table surface, as
illustrated in
figure 17.

to ensure accurate results and make the adjust-
ment process quicker and easier, we recommend
using a rotacator (see
Page 26) to gauge the bed
roller height from the table. if a rotacator is not
available, a straightedge and feeler gauges can
be used, but extra care must be taken to achieve
satisfactory results.
Note: Misaligned bed rollers can cause workpiece
chatter, a washboard surface, uneven workpiece
feeding, or binding.
When planing rough stock, set the rollers high
to keep the lumber from dragging along the bed.
When planing milled lumber, set the rollers low to
help minimize snipe.
