G0550/G0551 15" Planer
The infeed and outfeed rollers move the lumber
through the planer, and press the lumber flat
against the planer table.
Set the infeed and outfeed rollers to 0.02"-0.04"
below the cutterhead knife edge at bottom dead
center.
To check roller height:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2. Lower the table so the gauge block will fit
under one side of the infeed roller.
3. Raise the table until the gauge block barely
touches the infeed roller. See Figure 37. Do
not change the position of the table.
4. Slide the gauge block over so it is under the
edge of one of the knives. Turn the cutter-
head until one of the knives is at bottom
dead center over the gauge block.
5. Measure the clearance between the top of
the gauge block and the edge of the knife
with a feeler gauge. Note the measurement
indicated on the feeler gauge.

To adjust the chip breaker:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the
locknuts and turn the setscrews. See Figure
36. Stop turning when the bottom of the chip
breaker just touches the gauge block.
3. Tighten both locknuts.
