Checking/Adjusting
Jointer Table
Parallelism
The outfeed table is preset by the factory parallel
with the cutterhead. However, it is critical to check
this setting. If the tables are not parallel with the
cutterhead or each other, then poor cutting results
and kickback can occur.

Checking Outfeed Table Parallelism
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
1.
Put on heavy leather gloves, then remove the
2.
cutterhead guard and fence.
Place the straightedge on the outfeed table
3.
so it hangs over the cutterhead in one of the
positions shown in Figure 67.

Model G0634Z/G0634XP (Mfd. Since 01/20)
Try to fit a feeler gauge or combination of
4.
feeler gauges 0.062" to 0.069" between the
bottom of the ruler and the cutterhead body
as shown in Figure 68.
— If the feeler gauge slides with slight resis-
tance between the ruler and cutterhead
and no gaps appear, go to Step 5.
— If the feeler gauge does not slide with
slight resistance between the ruler and
cutterhead, or if gaps appear, go to
Correcting Outfeed Table Parallelism
on Page 52 before proceeding to Step 5.

Continue placing the straightedge in the
5.
remaining positions shown in Figure 67. In
each position, the feeler gauge measurement
should be nearly identical.
— If the outfeed table height above the
cutterhead is equal across the table in
each position, then the outfeed table is
already parallel with the cutterhead. Go to
Checking Infeed Table Parallelism, on
Page 52.
— If the outfeed table height is not equal
across the table in any of the positions,
then the outfeed table is not parallel with
the cutterhead. Correct the outfeed table
parallelism, then correct the infeed table
parallelism.
