3. Place the straightedge in one of the positions

shown in

Figure 49, and adjust the table (a

small hammer and punch or pin-type span-
ner wrench may be necessary to turn the
eccentric bushings) so that the straightedge
touches the cutterhead while lying flat across
the outfeed table. Repeat this step with each
of the remaining straightedge positions as
many times as necessary until the outfeed
table is parallel with the cutterhead to within
0.010"-0.012".

Note: Setting the outfeed table parallel to the
cutterhead within 0.010"-0.012" will produce
high quality results. Exceeding this number
will produce minimal gain.

4. Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen-

tric bushings on the outfeed table.

5. Remove the set screw from each of the four

eccentric bushings under the infeed table,
and loosen the set screws underneath those
removed set screws.

6. Place the straightedge halfway across the

infeed table and halfway over the outfeed
table, and adjust the infeed table even with
the outfeed table, as shown in

Figure 50.

7. Place the straightedge in one of the posi-

tions shown in

Figure 51, and adjust the

eccentric bushings under the infeed table so
the straightedge lies flat against both tables.
Repeat this step with each of the remaining
straightedge positions as many times as nec-
essary until the infeed table is parallel with
the outfeed table.

8. Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen-

tric bushings on the infeed table.

Setting Outfeed

Table Height

The outfeed table height must be even with the
top of the cutterhead knives. If the outfeed table is
set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table
is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of
the outfeed table during operation, increasing the
chance of kickback.
