Inspecting Knives
(G0633 Only)
Tools Needed: Qty
Knife Setting Gauge .......................................... 1
Straightedge ...................................................... 1
The height of the knives can be inspected with the
knife setting jig or with a straightedge.
Inspecting the height of the knives with a straight-
edge ensures that they are set evenly with
the outfeed table at their highest point in the
cutterhead rotation.
To inspect the knives with the knife setting
gauge:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER/PLANER
FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the cutterhead guard.
3. Raise both tables out of the way.
4. Place the knife setting gauge on the
cutterhead, directly over a knife, as shown in
Figure 58.
— If both outside legs of the gauge sit firmly
on the cutterhead and the middle pad just
touches the knife, then that knife is set
correctly. (Repeat this inspection with the
other knives.)
— If the gauge does not sit firmly on the
cutterhead and touch the knife edge as
described, then reset that knife. (Repeat
this inspection with the other knives before
resetting.)
6. Lower the tables back over the cutterhead.
7. REPLACE CUTTERHEAD GUARD!
To inspect the knives with a straightedge:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER/PLANER
FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the cutterhead guard or block it out
of the way.
3. Using a straightedge on the outfeed table,
check the height of each knife at the positions
shown in
Figure 58.
