Setting Outfeed Table Height - Grizzly G0813 Owner's Manual

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table height must be even with the
top of the cutterhead knives when they are posi-
tioned at top dead center. 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.
Before beginning this procedure, the knives must
be properly set in the cutterhead (refer to Setting/
Replacing Knives on Page 45 for detailed
instructions).
Tools Needed
Straightedge ...................................................... 1
To set outfeed table height:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove cutterhead guard, fence, and
cabinet rear access panel.
3.
Place straightedge on outfeed table so it
extends over cutterhead.
4.
Use motor pulley to rotate cutterhead until
one of the knives is at top dead center (its
highest point during rotation), as illustrated in
Figures 74–75.

When correctly set, the knife will barely touch
straightedge, as shown in Figure 75.
— If your outfeed table is correctly set, no
adjustments are necessary.
— If knife lifts straightedge off of table or it
is below straightedge, then outfeed table
must be reset.
