Table Chain Tension; Table Parallelism - Grizzly G0603X Owner's Manual

Table Chain Tension

Tools Needed:
Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1
Wrench or Socket 24mm ................................... 1
The table chain transfers movement from the
table gearbox to the table elevation screws. This
chain can be adjusted to remove slack if the chain
stretches over time.
To adjust the table chain tension:
1.
DISCONNECT THE
POWER!
2.
Remove the bottom rear access panel.
NOTICE
DO NOT let the chain fall off the sprockets
during this procedure. Returning it to its
proper location without changing the table
adjustment can be very difficult.
3. Loosen the hex nut holding the idler assem-
bly (see Figure 27).
Figure 27. Table chain idler hex nut.
4.
Move the idler sprocket against the chain to
remove any slack.
5.
Tighten idler assembly hex nut.
6.
Install the bottom rear access panel.

Table Parallelism

Maximum Allowable Tolerance:
Cutterhead/Table Side-to-Side .................. 0.003"
Tools Needed:
Rotacator ........................................................... 1
Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1
Hex Wrench 10mm ............................................ 1
Table parallelism is critical to the operation of the
planer. It is essential the table is parallel with the
cutterhead within 0.003" from side-to-side, as
illustrated in Figure 28.

Table Parallelism Inspection
The easiest way to determine if your table has a
parallelism problem is to plane a workpiece and
measure the thickness in multiple locations. If the
workpiece is tapered from left to right, then your
table and cutterhead may not be parallel.
Use your Rotacator (Page 29) to further inspect the
table parallelism. If you do not have a Rotacator,
a wood block and feeler gauges may be used,
but extra care must be taken to ensure accuracy.
If the table is not within the maximum allowable
tolerance, it must be adjusted.
