Moving Bed Rollers

In order to perform table adjustments, the bed
rollers must be adjusted below the surface of
the table.
To move the bed rollers:
1. Loosen the setscrews where the bed rollers
mount to the planer body (on both ends) as
shown in Figure 9.
2. Use a wrench to lower the rollers on their
eccentric shafts.
Leave the bed rollers in this position until
instructed to adjust them at the end of this
section.
The most critical adjustments made on your new
planer are dependent on the table being
parallel to the cutterhead body. Because of this
relationship, checking the table is the first step
to setting up an accurate planer.
There are two movements you should be
concerned about when checking/adjusting the
table—the table should be parallel to the head
casting from front-to-back, and the table should
be parallel with the cutterhead body from side-
to-side.
The table has been pre-set at the factory, but it
is a good idea to check any machine thoroughly
before use.
To check the table:
1. Make sure machine is unplugged!
2. Make the gauge shown in Figure 10 out of a
block of wood.
