2. Place a straight edge on the outfeed table and extending over the cutterhead, as shown in Figure 13. 3. Rock the cutterhead slightly so that a knife tip contacts the straight edge. If the knife tip just contacts the straight edge without moving the straight edge, then the outfeed table is at the proper height. If the knife tip pushes up the straight edge, the outfeed table is too low. If the knife tip does not contact the straight edge, the outfeed table is too high. 4. To raise

Setting Infeed Table Height (Depth of Cut) 1. To set the cutting depth, loosen handwheel (A, Figure 17) by turning counterclockwise. 2. Move table adjustment arm (B, Figure 17) up or down to raise or lower infeed table. The pointer (C, Figure 17) shows the depth of cut on the adjoining scale. 3. Tighten handwheel securely (A, Figure 17). The stop screw (D, Figure 17) on the infeed table should be set so that when it contacts the table, the infeed table will be exactly level with

5. It is recommended when replacing knives that you clean the knife slots in the cutterhead. Remove the gib along with the gib screws, and remove the two springs. Clean the cutterhead slot of any debris or dust that might prevent the knife from seating properly. Also clean the gib, gib screws, and springs. Closely inspect the gib screws – if the threads appear worn or stripped, or if the heads are becoming rounded, replace the screws. 6. Re-insert the springs and the

Replacing Knife Inserts (Helical Cutterhead) Jointer knife inserts are very sharp. Use care and proceed slowly when working with or around the cutterhead. The helical cutterhead is a solid steel design that holds 44 two-sided knife inserts, and two rabbet knife inserts on the outboard end of the cutterhead. Replacing knife inserts is a simple process, and they will seat themselves properly without having to be set with a knife gauge. After a period of use, dull knife inserts shoul

Fence Adjustments The fence (A, Figure 22) tilts backward and forward to 45 degrees. It has a 90-degree stop (B, Figure 22) and a 45-degree stop (C, Figure 22). To tilt fence forward: 1. Loosen the lock handle (D, Figure 22) and tilt the fence forward using the handle (E, Figure 22). NOTE: Lift up slightly on the fence while tilting it, to prevent scratching the table surface. 2. Retighten lock handle (D, Figure 22). Figure 22 To tilt fence backward: 1. Loosen the loc

To check and adjust the 45-degree stop: 1. Loosen lock handle (D, Figure 22) and tilt fence until it contacts the 45-degree stop (C, Figure 22). 2. Place a machinist’s protractor or similar device set at 45 degrees on the table and against the fence. 3. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the hex nut on the stop screw (C, Figure 22) and turn the stop screw until the fence is flush with the protractor. 4. Retighten the hex nut.

Hand Placement At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly against the infeed table and fence, while the right hand pushes the workpiece toward the knives. After the cut is under way, the jointed surface of the workpiece rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand should press down on this part, at the same time maintaining flat contact of the workpiece with the fence. The right hand pushes the workpiece forward and before the right hand reaches

Use push blocks to rabbet cut whenever possible. The rabbeting capacity is 3/4”. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Set fence for desired width of rabbet. 3. Check width of the rabbet by measuring the distance from the end of a knife in the cutterhead to the fence. 4. Reconnect power. Lower the infeed table 1/32” at a time and make successive cuts until the desired depth of rabbet has been obtained. See Figure 28. NOTE: It is easier and safer to take a series of shallow cuts.
