TABLE ADJUSTMENTS.
INFEED TABLE
The infeed table adjustment determines the depth of
cut, by raising or lowering the table in relation to the cut-
terhead.
The lower the infeed table the larger the cut. Loosen the
table lock handle Fig. 8 (A) at the back of the machine
and raise the table by releasing the lever Fig. 9 (A) and
pushing the handle up or down Fig. 9 (B), the gauge in
B
the front Fig. 10 (A) will tell you exactly what your depth
of cut is.
It is possible to preset the positive stops to maximum
and minimum depth of cut so it is not necessary to con-
sult the gauge each time you wish to change to these
settings Fig 8.
OUTFEED TABLE
The outfeed table should be level with the jointer knives
at the highest point of their rotation. Once set to this
height it should not be altered,the depth of cut adjust-
ment comes from the infeed table only. If it is necessary
to adjust the outfeed table, loosen the locking screw at
the back of the jointer, Fig. 13 (C) and turn the knob Fig.
11 (A) under the outfeed table, this will raise or lower
the table. Don't forget to tighten the locking screw Fig.
13 (C).
ADJUSTING TABLE GIBS
The gibs Fig. 12 (A) are designed to take up any play
that may exist in the sliding dovetail that joins the in
and outfeed table casting to the base casting. If there is
any adjustment needed;
1. There are three lock nuts Fig. 13 (A) for the infeed
table and two for the outfeed table Fig. 13 (B). These
must be loosened.
2. For the infeed table, loosen the table locking lever
Fig. 8 (Previous Page), and turn the gib adjustment
screws Fig 12 (B), start with the lower adjustment
screw and work your way to the top. Slightly raise the
back edge of the table as you make the adjustment
to prevent any sagging.
3. Once the gib has been adjusted to a secure fit
tighten the lock nuts and the table locking lever.
4. Repeat the process for the outfeed table, note that
this table has a table locking screw, Fig. 13 (C). It is
essential that these screws are tight if the tables
move up and down too freely, it will be difficult to
attain an accurate result.
