the outfeed table until the straightedge just
touches the cutterhead body, as shown in

edge should touch the cutterhead body and
sit flat on the outfeed table.

Figure 35. Straightedge positions for verifying if
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.
