12 FEED ROLLER SPEEDS Y our planer is equipped with feed roller speeds of 20 and 30 feet per minute depending on belt placement on the pulleys. As a rule, a faster feed rate is used for gen- eral planing operations, while a slower feed rate (because it provides mor e cuts per inch of stock) gives a finer and smoother finish to the workpiece. 1. T o[...]

13 Fig. 20 Fig. 19 Fig. 21 T ABLE ROLLERS Y our planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig. 21, which aid in feeding the stock by reducing friction be- tween the stock and the table and rotate as the stock is fed through the planer . 1. T o raise the table rollers, loosen locking lever (B) Fig. 21, and pull control lever (C) upward to the de[...]

14 Fig. 24 Fig. 25 D E F A B Fig. 23 A B C CHECKING AND ADJUSTING T ABLE ROLLER HEIGHT It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the prop- er height setting of the table rollers because each type of wood has differ ent behavioral patterns. As a general rule, when planing rough stock, the table r ollers should be set high (.003 to .005 ) above [...]

15 ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS A series of anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 27, ar e provided on the infeed end of the planer to prevent kickback of the workpiece during planing operations.
