location.
3.
Place the straightedge in one of the positions
shown in Figure 53, and adjust the table by
turning the eccentric bearings (a small ham-
mer and punch or pin-type spanner wrench
may be necessary), so that the straightedge
touches the cutterhead while lying flat across
the outfeed table. Repeat this step with each
of the remaining straightedge positions as
necessary until the outfeed table is parallel
with the cutterhead.
4.
Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen-
tric bushings on the outfeed table.
5.
Remove the set screw from each of the four
eccentric bushings under the infeed table,
and loosen the set screws underneath those
removed set screws.
6.
Place the straightedge halfway across the
infeed table and halfway over the outfeed
table, and adjust the infeed table even with
the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 54.
7.
Place the straightedge in one of the posi-
tions shown in Figure 55, and adjust the
eccentric bushings under the infeed table so
the straightedge lies flat against both tables.
Repeat this step with each of the remaining
straightedge positions as many times as nec-
essary until the infeed table is parallel with
the outfeed table.
8.
Tighten/replace the set screws in the eccen-
tric bushings on the infeed table.
9.
Set the knives (refer to Page 33), set the
outfeed table height (refer to the next sub-
section), and recalibrate the fence stops
(Page 40).
10. Reinstall the cutterhead guard.

Set Screw
Location
The outfeed table height must be even with the
top of the cutterhead knives. If the outfeed table is
set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table
is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of
the outfeed table during operation, increasing the
chance of kickback.
