ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION OF INFEED AND
OUTFEED ROLLERS
.
Infeed and outfeed rollers are factory set and should
not need adjustment. If they do however, the spring ten-
sion of the in and outfeed rollers must be sufficient to
evenly feed the stock through the planer.It needs to be
even along the length of the roller and not be so tight
that it causes damage to the timber and jamming. If
adjustment is needed, do this by turning the screws
shown Fig. 14 (E) infeed rollers Fig. 14 (F) outfeed
rollers at either end of each roller.
ADJUSTING TABLE ROLLERS.
The table rollers Fig. 15 (A) & Fig. 16 (A) are located on
the bed of the planer, and are designed to reduce fric-
tion as material passes over the table.They are present-
ly set for general purpose planing and are parallel to the
table.If you need to adjust them, higher is better for
rough sawn stock, and lower, for finished stock, lay a
straight edge Fig. 15 (B) across both rollers with a spac-
er Fig. 15 (C) the height you want the rollers set. The
adjustment screws Fig. 16 (D) are eccentric so take
care the rollers remain parallel to the table and each
other. One side of the planer, the screws turn clockwise
to raise or lower the rollers and on the other side they
turn anticlockwise to do the same.
