Outfeed Roller
The outfeed roller is of smooth, one-piece
construction to help avoid marring the finished
surface of the material being cut. It is spring
tensioned, and its function is to continue to feed
the material through the machine after it leaves
the infeed roller. The correct free position
setting is 1/32" (0.8mm) below the arc of the
cutterhead knives.
Use a gauge, such as a bed and feed roll gauge
or wood gauge block (see Figure 13) to check
the outfeed roller in the same manner as for the
infeed roller. Adjust as necessary using the
screws (E, Figure 15). When finished adjusting,
tighten the hex nuts on the screws.
Table Rollers
The Planer has two table rollers which help
reduce friction of the stock on the table as it
feeds through the machine. It is not possible to
give exact height setting of the table rollers
because each type of wood behaves differently.
As a general rule, however, the table rollers
should be set high when planing rough stock,
and set low for finish cuts.
The planer is equipped with a quick set table
roller adjustment. With a single lever, you ca n
raise the rolls from their finishing board height to
a roughing board height. The range is 0.00 to
0.05”.
To adjust the height of the table rollers, loose n
the handle (A, Figure 16) and move the quick-
set lever (B, Figure 16) until the indicator is at
the desired setting on the scale. Re-tighten the
handle (A, Figure 16) to lock the setting.
NOTE: The handle (A) is adjustable. To re-
position it, simply lift out on the handle, rotate it
on the pin and release, making sure it seats
itself properly on the pin.
The table rollers are adjusted at the factory. If
they should need further or “fine” adjustment:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Loosen lock handle and position the quick-
set lever (Figure 16) to zero.
3. Use a dial gauge (not provided) to find the
distance from table top to the apex of the
table roller. Zero the gauge at this position.
4. Place the gauge over the extreme right side
of the table roller and find the high point of
the table roller arc. The gauge should still
read zero.
