Adjusting.Table.Parallelism
For safe and proper cutting results, the tables must be
parallel to the cutterhead. Adjusting them to be parallel
is a task of precision and patience, and may take up to
one hour to complete. This is considered a permanent
adjustment, and should not need to be repeated. Due to
the complex nature of this task, we recommend that you
double check the current table positions to make sure
that they really need to be adjusted before starting.
Each table has four leveling adjusters that allow the table
to be adjusted parallel. Each leveling adjuster is locked in
place by a button head cap screw w/washer.
The correct order for adjusting table parallelism is to first
adjust outfeed table parallel with cutterhead, then adjust
infeed table parallel with outfeed table.
When setting outfeed table, all measurements MUST be
made from the cutterhead body—not the inserts, or the
results may be skewed.
IMPORTANT: The following steps are intended to be
performed directly after the steps involved in Checking.
Outfeed.Table.on.Page.33. DO NOT continue until you
have performed those steps.
To.adjust.table.parallelism,.do.these.steps:
1. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs over
cutterhead, then insert included Torx driver into
cutterhead rotation guide and rotate cutterhead
until cutterhead body is at the highest point of
rotation (see Figure.33).
2. Access outfeed table leveling adjusters by removing
(4) cap screws w/washers from table openings, as
shown in Figure.34.
