4.  Rotate the 

cutterhead

, using the drive belt or 

pulley,  until 

knife number one

  is  at  its 

highest  point.  The  apex  of  the  knife  should 
just  barely  come  in  contact  with  the 
straightedge. 

If  the  apex  of  the 

knife number one

  just 

makes  contact  with  the  straightedge,  no 
adjustment is required for the outfeed table. 
Proceed  to  the 

Setting Cutterhead Knives 

section. 

If  the  apex  of  the 

knife number

  one  comes 

below  the  straightedge  (a  gap  exists)  or 
pushes  the  straightedge  up,  proceed  with 
the following steps: 

5.  Loosen  both 

gib lock screws

  (B,  Fig.  8-8) 

and the 

lock knob

 (Figure 8-9).  

6.  Raise  or  lower  the 

outfeed table

  until  the 

straight edge

  contacts  the 

knife tip

,  as 

shown in Figure 8-10. Using the drive belt or 
pulley,  rock  the  cutterhead  slightly  to  make 
sure  the  apex  of  the  knife  is  just  barely 
contacting the 

straight edge

.  

When adjustment is complete: 

7.  Lock  the 

outfeed table

  at  that  setting  by 

tightening the 

lock knob

 (Figure 8-9) and 

gib 

lock screws

 (B, Fig. 8-8). The outfeed table 

adjustment is complete. 

 

Figure 8-9 

 

Figure 8-10 

The  outfeed  table  adjustment  is  only  made 
against  one  knife  (blade  number  one  was 
arbitrarily selected here). After the outfeed table 

has  been  set  at  the  correct  height,  do  not 
change  it  except  for  special  operations  or  after 
replacing knives. 

After  this  adjustment  is  completed,  it  is 
necessary to proceed to the

 Setting Cutterhead 

Knives 

section to verify that all three knives are 

at the correct height and parallel to the outfeed 
table. 

8.7

  Setting cutterhead knives (JJ-

6CSDX) 

Note

: Before setting knives for model JJ-6CSDX 

Jointer, the 

Outfeed Table Adjustment

 should be 

done to ensure the proper knife height in relation 
to the outfeed table. 

Knives  for  the  JJ-6CSDX  cutterhead  are 
adjusted  by  means  of  a  cam.  It  is  important  to 
note that the entire adjustment is accomplished 
within  one  complete  rotation  (360  degrees)  of 
the cam. A full rotation of the cam will cause the 
knife  blade  to  move  a  total  of  .015”  from  one 
extreme to the other. Turning the cam more than 
one  full  rotation  will  not  further  adjust  the  knife 
setting,  but  will  simply  begin  the  adjustment  all 
over  again.  The  knife  adjustment  procedure  is 
outlined below. 

 

Cutterhead 

knives 

are 

dangerously  sharp.  Use  extreme  caution 
when  inspecting,  removing,  sharpening  or 
replacing  knives  into  the  cutterhead.  Failure 
to comply may cause serious injury. 

To adjust (refer to Figures 8-11 & 8-12): 

1.  Disconnect jointer from power source. 

2.  Carefully  number  each  blade  with  a  marker 

to make them easier to differentiate. 

3.  Place  a  straightedge  across  the  outfeed 

table  extending  it  over  the  cutterhead 

towards one end of the knife

 

Cutterhead 

knives 

are 

dangerously  sharp.  Do  not  grab  the 
cutterhead  itself  to  rotate  it!  Failure  to 
comply may cause serious injury. 

4.  Rotate  the  cutterhead

 back and forth

  using 

the  drive  belt  or  pulley,  until 

knife number 

one

  is  at  its  highest  point.  The  apex  of  the 

knife should just barely come in contact with 
the straightedge. 

5.  Move  the  straightedge 

towards the other 

end of the knife

 and repeat step 4. 

The  apex  of  the  knife 

at both ends of the 

knife

  must 

just make contact

  with  the 

straightedge. If the apex of the knife

 

comes
