Page Feed Rate 4. If the reading on the depth of cut scale is incorrect, loosen the two mounting screws on the clear plastic plate and adjust accordingly. The top scale A, Fig. Page 12 NOTE: If a bed and feed roll gauge is not available, use a finished block of wood with notches cut out for the table rollers, and a feeler gauge.

See Figure 13 for an example of a wood block used as a gauge. Page 13 Chipbreaker The functions of the chipbreaker are to break chips into small pieces, help avoid splintering of the wood, help avoid board bounce on thinner boards, and to direct the flow of chips out of the machine.

However, should future adjustment be needed, proceed as follows: 1. Place a bed and feed roll gauge or wood block beneath one end of the cutterhead. Crank the planer bed up until the cutterhead is just touching the gauge, and check the measurement.

Warping of wood is caused by uneven shrinkage during the drying process. Shrinkage is not the same in all directions of the grain and due to the different grain direction in pieces of Figure 19 lumber, different types of warpage can occur. Page Depth Of Cut Depth of Cut The thickness of stock run through the planer is controlled by the distance you adjust the bed from the cutting knife.

Always start your work by making a light planing cut. Your PM15 planer-molder will accept a single knife set, which uses gibs and counterbalances to ensure the cutterhead is in balance at all times. See Figure It will also accept a Powermatic 15 Inch Hh Planer Studio three-knife set. Page Pattern Knife Clearance 3. Mount the molding cutter gauge A, Fig. The guide may be attached to either side.

Adjust the gauge A, Fig. To adjust the guides, lower the bed and place a board of correct width to be molded under the cutterhead. Loosely adjust the guides to the board. Rotate the cutterhead by hand and see if the pattern knife will line up with the board. Adjust accordingly until the pattern knife and board are lined up as in Figure Page Common Molding Applications If you have not already done so, install counterweights in the remaining two cutterhead slots.

The rabbet knife is locked in place with the aluminum gib provided. NOTE: When the rabbet knife becomes dull on side, move rabbet knife counterweight set-up to the opposite side of the cutterhead. Page Maintenance Multiple Custom Knife Use Many operators who have continuous short runs of several different patterns save set-up time by installing more than one set of knives in the cutterhead at the same time. You can change from one pattern to another simply by changing the guides.

Page Lubrication Lubrication 1. Make sure the knives are set properly as previously explained under Adjustment. Place the gauge block F, Figure 26 on the table directly beneath the cutterhead D, Figure Make sure the deflector is oriented so the bevel on its front edge matches the shape of the cutterhead. A manual scale is mounted directly to the front column. The model 15S planer also features a digital scale for easier, more precise depth readings.

The button functions are discussed below, followed by a section giving practical examples of how to calibrate your settings, and how these functions can be used operations. Page 21 From this point on, any table movement will be based off this setting. Page 22 Method 2 uses a scrap board and calipers. Turn on the digital display. It turns on in absolute mode.
