Table Rollers<br />
The table rollers should be set last so they stay<br />
out of the way during the other adjustments.<br />
The required height of the table rollers will vary<br />
depending on the type of stock you intend to<br />
plane.<br />
As a general rule, table roller height should be<br />
between .002" and .020" above the table (see<br />
Figure 28). However, some stock may have<br />
better results outside of these numbers. Often,<br />
a small amount of trial-and-error is required to<br />
find the best table roller height for any<br />
particular stock. Rough stock will plane better<br />
when the rollers are higher, and smooth stock<br />
will have less snipe when the rollers are lower.<br />
Figure 28. Table roller tolerances.<br />
To adjust the table roller height:<br />
1. Place a good straightedge across the length<br />
of the table as shown in Figure 29.<br />
OPERATIONS<br />
2. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap<br />
between the table surface and the<br />
straightedge, and adjust the table rollers as<br />
described on page 14 to reach the desired<br />
height. The gap between the straightedge<br />
and the table should be even all the way<br />
across the table.<br />
For quick and easy table roller setup, consider<br />
purchasing a Rotacator ® . This handy tool allows<br />
you to watch the height of the table roller as<br />
you adjust it, giving you accuracy within .001"<br />
every time. See “Aftermarket Accessories” at<br />
the end of the Operations section for more<br />
details.<br />
