Adjusting Table Rollers
Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig.
13, which aid in feeding the stock by reducing friction
and turn as the stock is fed through the planer. It is not
possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height
setting of the table rollers because each type of wood
behaves differently.
As a general rule, however, when planing rough stock,
the table rollers should be set at high position, and when
planing smooth stock the table rollers should be set at
low position.
NOTE:
The raising range between 0.003"-0.006" when
raising the roller higher above table as shown in
Fig. 14.
The Table Rollers on your planer are set for average
planing and are parallel to the table surface. If you
desire to adjust the table rollers higher or lower, proceed
as follows:
1.
Disconnect machine from the power source.
2.
Lay a straight edge (A) Fig, 15 across both
rollers, loosen the screws (B) Fig. 15, and turn the
eccentric shafts (C) to raise or lower the table rollers,
when the proper height is obtained tighten screws (B)
as shown in Fig. 15. Table rollers must be adjusted on
the opposite end of table in the same manner.
