Adjusting Gibs
The function of the table gibs is to eliminate
excessive play in the table movement. The gibs
also control how easy it will be to move the tables
up and down.

To adjust the table gibs:
1. Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the three
infeed table gib nuts on the back of the jointer
base (
Figure 64).
Figure 64. Infeed table gib controls.
2. Oil the gibs and table leadscrew if needed
(see Page 30).
3. Using a 3mm hex wrench, evenly tighten the
gib set screws a small amount, then check
the table by moving it up and down. Adjust
the set screws as needed until the friction
of the table movement is balanced between
minimal play and ease of movement.
Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it
harder to adjust the tables.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 with the outfeed table.
5. Set the outfeed table height as described in
Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 17.
3. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence
stop bolt (
Figure 63).
