Calibrating the Thickness Scale
NOTICE!
The following procedures describe the use of a “calibrating board”. It is a piece of hardwood
which has been surfaced on one side with a jointer, drum sander or wide belt sander.
1. With the planer OFF, the cutter head not rotating and power disconnected, place the Calibrating Board
on the table, with the previously machined (flat) face “down”, and slide under the cutterhead.
2. Make sure the Carriage Lock is unlocked (UP position).
3. Use the Table Height Adjustment handle (Fig. 8, A) to raise the table until the infeed roller is
approximately 1/16” above the calibrating board.
4. Remove the calibrating board from the planer.
5. Connect power to the planer and turn ON.
6. Turn the height adjustment handle clockwise, one complete revolution, to lower the carriage and run the
calibrating board (previously machined face “down”) through the planer. Lock (“down” position) the
carriage lock.
