Thread: Anyone know how to align the tables on a 10" Combo Planar/Thicknesser

Try the Grizzly site below and click on the pdf manual download. It looks like the same machine to me.
I have a Laguna Platinum table saw which also came with a very poor manual but the equivalent Grizzly manual is superb and has got me out of trouble a few times.

Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion. I visited the Grizzly site, but it is a different machine.

I have the same machine as that and have never needed to change anything but the infeed table,the outfeed table should be locked and be the referance for setting the infeed table,adjust the infeed table so that is completly level and straight to the out feed over the entire two tables,there are several bolts that allow you to this,go slowly as a little can change a lot.
When you have this done you then should check the height of the cutters,I made mine the same height as the outfeed table(and the infeed as long as you have not changed anything from the above set up)
To do this I found that the instruction book a bit??? ,I then bought a set up gauge from Carbatec which straddles both tables,once I set this up this became a one off setting of the gauge and comes out of the box ready to use.
There are two types of setting gauges they sell,one that is magnetic to the outfeed table only,not the one you want,get the one that sits on both tables,works a charm. Just make sure both tables are level before using.
Lower the infeed table to the require cut and away you go.
I should have answered you question first off before going on with the above,you should be able to get the instruction manual from Timecon (I got my machine from them before they went out of business)
They are now back in the game with a store in Melbourne

Bob I have this machine from Carbatec (ML392) and after some adjustments early in the peace have had no further problems with it. Out of interest, how did you determine that you had a .5mm slope away from the cutter.

Thanks for the advice,

I determined that the infeed table is out of alignment by raising the infeed table until the edge next to the cutter head was at the same level a the outfeed table. I then place a straight edge on the outfeed table and observed that the far end of the straight end was 5 mm lower than end next to the cutter head.

Bob, 5mm is quite a distance - even over 525mm ( the length of the infeed table). For many jobs this may not be a problem. When using the jointer as soon as the timber emerges from under the blade guard you should be moving your hands to the outfeed table to both apply downward pressure and to continue feeding the timber. As the outfeed table is the reference surface the slope should not affect the quality of the finish. May continue to be annoying though. Below is a link to a manual for the Axminster version of the machine. Does not shed any light on your problem.
