3. Place the block on one end of the table,
directly under the cutterhead body. Raise
the table up so the block only touches the
cutterhead body (keep knives rotated out of
the way for this step).
4. Without moving the table, slide the block of
wood to the other end of the cutterhead. If
the block of wood will not fit, or if the block
is below the cutterhead body, measure this
gap with a feeler gauge. If the difference is
more than .002", then the table needs to be
adjusted from left to right.
5. Place the block under the front of the
head casting, to either side of the depth
limiter tab. Raise the table up so the block
barely touches the head casting as shown
in Figure 11.
6. Remove the block and place it between the
middle-rear of the head casting and the
table. If there is a gap or it will not fit under
the head casting, measure the difference
with a feeler gauge. If this measurement is
more than .002", then the table needs to be
adjusted from front to back.
7. There are two methods to adjust the table
on the Model W1683. The first is for
adjustments smaller than .016" and the
second is for adjustments larger than .016".
To adjust the table less than .016":
1. Use the table mounting screws shown in
Figure 12. Loosen the screws and lift/lower
the table until the table and the cutterhead
body are parallel with each other and the
table is parallel with the head casting from
front to back. This may require some trial
and error.
2. Adjust each column on both sides until the
table is properly set. While adjusting the
columns, tighten each screw after each step
