Adjusting Platen To Wheels - Grizzly T32459 Owner's Manual

Adjusting
Platen to Wheels
The platen should extend about
the two front idler wheels in order to produce flat
and square grinds. Due to the force and abrasives
of grinding, the platen wears as it is used, so you
will occasionally need to adjust the platen forward
in order for grinds to maintain this adjustment.

from straightedge, proceed to Step 6.
6. Loosen (2) cap screws shown in Figure 54,
adjust platen so each idler wheel is about
from straightedge, then tighten screws.
