Checking/Adjusting
Table Parallelism
If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or
each other, then poor cutting results and kickback
can occur.

Checking Outfeed Table
To check the outfeed table parallelism:
1.
DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER
SOURCE!
2. Loosen the set screws shown in Figure 10,
Page 17, remove the guard, and remove the
fence.
3. Loosen the outfeed table lock located at the
front of the machine, and loosen the jam nuts
and positive stop bolts located at the back of
the machine (see Figure 47).

Figure 49. Straightedge positions for verifying if
Place the straightedge on the outfeed table
so it hangs over the cutterhead, and lower
the outfeed table until the straightedge just
touches the cutterhead body, as shown in
Figure 48 (rotate the cutterhead if neces-
sary).

Figure 48. Adjusting outfeed table even with
cutterhead body.
Place the straightedge in the positions shown
in Figure 49. In each position, the straight-
edge should touch the cutterhead body and
sit flat on the outfeed table.

outfeed table is parallel with cutterhead.
—If the straightedge touches the cutterhead
and sits flat across the outfeed table in
each position, then the outfeed table is
already parallel with the cutterhead. Check
the infeed table to make sure that it is par-
allel with the outfeed table.
—If the straightedge does not touch the
cutterhead and sit flat on the outfeed table
in any of the positions, then the outfeed
table is not parallel with the cutterhead.
Correct the outfeed table parallelism, then
correct the infeed table parallelism.
