Infeed Table Adjustment - Powermatic PJ1696T Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

3. Lower the outfeed table until the straight edge
contacts a knife. Rock the cutterhead slightly
to make sure the apex of the knife is
contacting the straight edge. Lock the outfeed
table at that setting.
After the outfeed table has been set at the correct
height, it should not be changed except for special
operations or after replacing knives.
Examples of incorrect settings:
If the outfeed table is too high, the finished surface
of the workpiece will be curved, shown in Figure
14.
Figure 14
If the outfeed table is too low, the work will be
gouged at the end of the cut, shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15
As a final check of the outfeed table adjustment,
run a piece of wood slowly over the knives for 6 to
8 inches; it should rest firmly on both tables, as
shown in Figure 16, with no open space under the
finished cut.
Table Raising Limit Blocks
Refer to Figure 17.
A limit block, shown in Figure 17, is mounted to the
rear of each table. It sets the maximum height the
tables can be raised and is pre-set at the factory. If
adjustment is ever needed, loosen the hex nut (E)
and turn the screw (F) as needed. Retighten hex
nut (E).
