Checking/Adjusting
Table Parallelism
If the infeed and outfeed tables are not parallel
with the cutterhead and each other, then poor cut-
ting results and kickback can occur.
Table parallelism is factory-set, and should not
normally need to be adjusted when the machine
is new. However, after prolonged use, or if
machine has been jarred during lifting or trans-
portation, it may become necessary to adjust the
table parallelism.
The knives/indexable inserts are very sharp
and can easily cut your hands. ALWAYS
use caution when making adjustments near
these parts to reduce risk of personal injury.
Although some figures might not exactly
represent your machine, this process is the
same on the G0945, G0946, and G0947.
