Checking/Adjusting
Table Parallelism
If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or
each other, then poor cutting results and kickback
may occur.
To check outfeed table parallelism:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove cutterhead guard and fence.
3. Loosen outfeed table lock located at front of
machine, and loosen jam nuts and stop bolts
located at back of machine (see Figure 43).

cutterhead body.
4. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs
over cutterhead, and lower outfeed table until
straightedge just touches cutterhead body,
as shown in Figure 44 (rotate cutterhead if
necessary).

5. Place straightedge in positions shown in Figure
45. In each position, straightedge should touch
cutterhead and sit flat on outfeed table.
— If straightedge touches cutterhead and sits
flat across outfeed table in each position,
then outfeed table is already parallel with
cutterhead. Check infeed table to make sure
that it is parallel with outfeed table.
— If straightedge does not touch cutterhead
and sit flat on outfeed table in any of the posi-
tions, then outfeed table is not parallel with
cutterhead. Correct outfeed table parallelism,
then correct infeed table parallelism.
