Figure 23. Pressure bar adjustment controls.

Figure 22. Chipbreaker adjustment controls.

Lower the chipbreaker and the pressure bar

onto the boards, using the adjustment

controls shown in Figures 22 and 23.

Make sure that each of the adjustment

controls for the feed rollers, the

chipbreaker and the pressure bar are

backed off enough so that they will allow

the components to move below the current

position on the board.

To accurately perform this adjustment, you

will need a dial indicator (not included).

Place the dial indicator near the Shop Fox

name plate that is directly above the table.

10. Position the indicator plunger on the table

and lower the table .004"-.008". The feed

rollers, the chipbreaker and the pressure

bar should all move freely with the table. If

they do not, make sure that they are all

resting evenly on the boards at this current

position.

11. Lock the infeed roller, the chipbreaker and

the pressure bar in place. They should now

all be set between .004"-.008" below the

knife edge when it is at bottom dead

center.

12. The outfeed roller should still be able to

move with the table. Continue lowering the

table another .012" (.008" + .012" =.020").

The outfeed roller should now be set to

approximately .020" below the knife edge at

bottom dead center. Lock the outfeed roller

in place.

For super accurate setup, consider purchasing a

Rotacator

. This handy tool allows you to adjust

the feed rollers, chipbreaker, and pressure bar

to accuracy within .001" every time. See

“Aftermarket Accessories” at the end of the

Operations section for more details.
