adjusting infeed table parallelism
For safe and proper cutting results, both jointer
tables must be parallel to the cutterhead. the
correct order for adjusting table parallelism is
to first adjust the outfeed table parallel with the
cutterhead, then adjust the infeed table parallel
with the outfeed table.
to adjust infeed table parallelism:
1.
Check the outfeed table parallelism (see
page 51), and make any necessary adjust-
ments so the cutterhead and outfeed table
are parallel.
2.
place the straightedge halfway across the
infeed table and halfway over the outfeed
table, and adjust the infeed table even with
the outfeed table, as shown in figure 72.

—if the front of the infeed table is higher or
lower than the outfeed table, adjust the
infeed table stop bolts (see figure 74).
—if the rear of the infeed table is higher or
lower than the outfeed table, shim the
infeed table to adjust it parallel with the
outfeed table. Follow steps 4-6.

while an assistant raises the infeed table,
slip shims between the hinged shaft and the
jointer base, then retighten the cap screw.
shimming the top position will raise the rear
cutterhead side of the table, shimming the
lower position will raise the rear infeed side.
repeat step 3 with each of the remaining
straightedge positions and adjust the table
front to back using the shims as many times
as necessary until the infeed table is parallel
with the outfeed table.
reinstall the cutterhead guard.
