9.13 Height of infeed roller, chipbreaker and outfeed roller The infeed roller, chipbreaker and outfeed roller are adjusted at the factory. The height relationship between these items and the cutterhead is crucial for accurate and safe planing. The infeed roller, chipbreaker, and outfeed roller should each be set at 0.02" (0.5mm) below the cutting circle. See Figure 24. If any adjustments are necessary for the infeed roller, chipbreaker, or outfeed roller, they should be done carefully. Use the following steps as an example of procedure. NOTE: This procedure uses a home-made gauge block and feeler gauges, which should be sufficient for most planer operations. If very precise measurements are desired, however, use a dial indicator device. 9.14 Outfeed roller height 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Make sure the knives are set properly as previously explained under "Knife Adjustment." 3. Place the gauge block (F, Figure 25) on the table directly beneath the cutterhead (D, Figure 25). 4. Using a 0.02" (0.5mm) feeler gauge (G, Figure 25) placed on top of the gauge block, raise the work table until the knife just touches the feeler gauge when the knife is at its lowest point. Do not move the work table any farther until the outfeed roller is adjusted. 5. Remove the feeler gauge and move the gauge block (F, Figure 25) under one end of the outfeed roller. The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch the top of the gauge block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller is necessary, loosen the lock nut (J, Figure 26) and turn screw (H, Figure 26) until the outfeed roller just touches the gauge block. Then tighten lock nut (J, Figure 26). 6. Check and adjust the opposite end of the outfeed roller in the same manner. 9.15 Infeed roller height Use the exact same procedure for checking the infeed roller as you did for the outfeed roller, Use the .02" (0.5mm) feeler gauge atop the gauge block. If adjustment is necessary, use the lock nut and screw on each end of the infeed roller. 16 Figure 24 Figure 25

Height of infeed roller,
chipbreaker and outfeed roller
The infeed roller, chipbreaker and outfeed roller
are
adjusted
at
the
factory.
The
height
relationship between these items and the
cutterhead is crucial for accurate and safe
planing. The infeed roller, chipbreaker, and
outfeed roller should each be set at 0.02"
(0.5mm) below the cutting circle. See Figure 24.
If any adjustments are necessary for the infeed
roller, chipbreaker, or outfeed roller, they should
be done carefully. Use the following steps as an
example of procedure.
NOTE: This procedure uses a home-made
gauge block and feeler gauges, which should be
sufficient for most planer operations. If very
precise measurements are desired, however,
use a dial indicator device.

Outfeed roller height
1.
Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Make sure the knives are set properly as
previously
explained
under
"Knife
Adjustment."
3.
Place the gauge block (F, Figure 25) on the
table directly beneath the cutterhead (D,
Figure 25).
4. Using a 0.02" (0.5mm) feeler gauge (G,
Figure 25) placed on top of the gauge block,
raise the work table until the knife just
touches the feeler gauge when the knife is
at its lowest point. Do not move the work
table any farther until the outfeed roller is
adjusted.
5. Remove the feeler gauge and move the
gauge block (F, Figure 25) under one end of
the outfeed roller. The bottom of the outfeed
roller should just touch the top of the gauge
block. If an adjustment to the outfeed roller
is necessary, loosen the lock nut (J, Figure
26) and turn screw (H, Figure 26) until the
outfeed roller just touches the gauge block.
Then tighten lock nut (J, Figure 26).
6. Check and adjust the opposite end of the
outfeed roller in the same manner.
9.15
Infeed roller height
Use the exact same procedure for checking the
infeed roller as you did for the outfeed roller,
Use the .02" (0.5mm) feeler gauge atop the
gauge block. If adjustment is necessary, use the
lock nut and screw on each end of the infeed
roller.
