    Default ML392 issues

    I have a Sherwood ML392, while trying to sort out issue with fence I found that my tables are not co-planer. The infeed table is "twisted". The near right corner (above switch) is higher than the rest of the table. When the fence side is flush with outfeed, the near side site 1-2mm above outfeed.

    The manual doesn't give much info in any adjustment so I am not sure if it is a setting issue or a fault.

    If the entire front edge of the infeed table or outfeed table is high or low compared to the fence side:
    When you lift the tables to go into thicknessing mode, you should see two infeed table positioning studs at the front with the longer locking screw between them. Same on the outfeed table. From what I am led to believe, you can adjust these to bring the front of the tables up or down. The precaution is that the tables must remain planer in relation to the cutting head. I would first check that there is no build up on the top of the studs or where they come into contact with the tables before adjusting.

    It's the far corner of the infeed table that is high. But I will try adjusting the studs and see if I can get it any better.

    With setting the outfeed table, I have a spiral cutter. Do I set the table to the cutters by picking two cutters (front and rear) and adjusting table to those so it just touches straight edge?

    Is it A, B, C or D? First post was “near right corner” now it’s “far corner”. Just want reply to be accurate.

    With the look of the structure of the table for the diagrams, it appears quite sturdy so you would think that if one of the studs was high or there was a build up on one, it would lift the whole front edge ie. A and B would be high? If you were to check the flatness of the diagonals from A and D then B and C it would show if it was warped.
    ie. A and D flat but B and C would show a clearance under the straight edge in from the ends. If that’s the case, it won’t adjust out.

    Had a bit of a play this afternoon. Managed to get rid of some of the twist. It's still not perfect, but it's a lot better.

    Next thing to work on is trying to sort out the fence. Apparently you can retro fit the new version's fence fairly easily, I might investigate that over next few weeks.
