CALIBRATING THE THICKNESS SCALE
The following sections will describe the use of a calibrating board. The calibrating board should
be made of a hardwood and have one side that has been run through a jointer.
1. With the planer turned "OFF - cutterhead NOT spinning", place your calibrating board jointed
surface down on the table and slide it into the machine.
2. Use the handwheel (A, Fig. 6) to raise the table so that the in-feed roller is about 1/16" above
the calibrating board.
3. Remove calibrating board from planer and turn the planer "ON".
4. Turn the handwheel clockwise one complete revolution to raise the table and run the
calibrating board through the planer.
5. Repeat Step 4 until the planer removes the entire top surface of your calibrating board.
6. Measure the thickness of the board using a pair of calipers.
7. Adjust the pointer (E, Figure 6) so that it reads the measured thickness by loosening the
screw that holds it in place.
