Feed Roll Speed Control
IMPORTANT: ONLY CHANGE FEED
ROLL SPEEDS WHEN THE MACHINE IS
RUNNING.
Two feed roll speeds of 28 and 22 feet per minute
are provided with your planer. Generally speaking,
the slower feed rate provides more cuts per inch,
thus a finer, smoother finish of the workpiece is
obtained. A good rule to follow would be to operate
the machine at the faster feed rate for general planing and switch to the slower feed rate for the
final finished dimension of the workpiece. When planing wide stock (wider than 8") particularly in
hard wood, the slower feed roll speed is more desirable as there is less strain on the motor and
a better finish is obtained since there are more cuts per inch of stock in length.
When the shifter knob, is pushed all the way in as shown, the feed roll speed will be 28 feet
per minute.
When the shifter knob is pulled all the way out, the feed roll speed will be 22 feet per minute.
When the shifter knob is in the center (neutral) position, the feed rolls are disengaged and
the machine will stop feeding.
Feed Roll Pressure Adjustment
The pressure of the roller will depend on the
pressure set by the spring and screws.
1. To adjust the pressure, loosen or tight the four
adjust screw and springs (A) on both ends of
the feed roller.
2. To ensure the best cutting results make sure
both side are at the same lever pressure.
