Figure 23. Pressure bar adjustment controls.
Figure 22. Chipbreaker adjustment controls.
7. Lower the chipbreaker and the pressure bar
onto the boards, using the adjustment
controls shown in Figures 22 and 23.
8. Make sure that each of the adjustment
controls for the feed rollers, the
chipbreaker and the pressure bar are
backed off enough so that they will allow
the components to move below the current
position on the board.
9. To accurately perform this adjustment, you
will need a dial indicator (not included).
Place the dial indicator near the Shop Fox
name plate that is directly above the table.
10. Position the indicator plunger on the table
and lower the table .004"-.008". The feed
rollers, the chipbreaker and the pressure
bar should all move freely with the table. If
they do not, make sure that they are all
resting evenly on the boards at this current
position.
11. Lock the infeed roller, the chipbreaker and
the pressure bar in place. They should now
all be set between .004"-.008" below the
knife edge when it is at bottom dead
center.
12. The outfeed roller should still be able to
move with the table. Continue lowering the
table another .012" (.008" + .012" =.020").
The outfeed roller should now be set to
approximately .020" below the knife edge at
bottom dead center. Lock the outfeed roller
in place.
For super accurate setup, consider purchasing a
Rotacator ® . This handy tool allows you to adjust
the feed rollers, chipbreaker, and pressure bar
to accuracy within .001" every time. See
“Aftermarket Accessories” at the end of the
Operations section for more details.
