Adjusting Gibs

The function of the table gibs is to eliminate
excessive play in the table movement. The gibs
also control how easy it will be to move the tables
up and down.

Tools Needed

Qty

Wrench 10mm ................................................... 1
Hex Wrench 3mm .............................................. 1

To adjust the table gibs:

1. Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the three

infeed table gib nuts on the back of the jointer
base (

Figure 64).

Figure 64. Infeed table gib controls.

2. Oil the gibs and table leadscrew if needed

(see

Page 30).

3. Using a 3mm hex wrench, evenly tighten the

gib set screws a small amount, then check
the table by moving it up and down. Adjust
the set screws as needed until the friction
of the table movement is balanced between
minimal play and ease of movement.

Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it
harder to adjust the tables.

4. Repeat Steps 1-3 with the outfeed table.

5. Set the outfeed table height as described in

Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 17.

3. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence

stop bolt (

Figure 63).
