Infeed Roller Height; Chipbreaker Height - Powermatic 209-1 Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Outfeed Roller Height
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Make sure the knives are set properly as
previously explained
Adjustment."
3. Place the gauge block (J, Figure 26) on the
table directly beneath the cutterhead (D,
Figure 26).
4. Using a 0.032" (0.81mm) feeler gauge (K,
Figure 26) placed on top of the gauge block,
raise the work table until the knife just
touches the feeler gauge when the knife is
at its lowest point. Do not move the work
table any further until the outfeed roller is
adjusted.
5. Remove the feeler gauge and move the
gauge block (J, Figure 27) under one end of
the outfeed roller (F, Figure 27). The bottom
of the outfeed roller should just touch the top
of the gauge block. If an adjustment to the
outfeed roller is necessary, loosen the lock
nut (L, Figure 27) and turn screw (M, Figure
27) until the outfeed roller just touches the
gauge block. Then tighten lock nut (L, Figure
27).
6.
Check and adjust the opposite end of the
outfeed roller in the same manner.

Infeed Roller Height

Use the exact same procedure for checking the
infeed roller as you did for the outfeed roller,
using a 0.032" (0.81mm) feeler gauge atop the
gauge block. If adjustment is necessary, use the
lock nut and screw on each end of the infeed
roller.

Chipbreaker Height

The chipbreaker breaks off the larger chips
before the stock reaches the cutterhead. Use
the gauge block to set the chipbreaker even with
the arc of the knives, following the same
procedure as above. If adjustment is needed:
1. Remove top cover.
2. Loosen the lock nuts (A, Figure 28) at both
ends of the chipbreaker, and turn the set
screws to raise or lower the chipbreaker as
needed. The set screws should be turned
the same amount.
3. When the chipbreaker contacts the gauge
block, tighten both lock nuts (A, Figure 28).
