I just got a 15" Jet planer and am working on the setup and have a couple of questions.
1) The bed rollers - There are two rollers on the bed of the planer. The manual says they are adjustable from 0 to 0.06" I set them to be 0.02" above the bed. How has anyone else set them. I did read some old posts where people eliminated the rollers by putting a slick table through the planer and not only eliminated the bed rollers but also the infeed and outfeed table rollers.
2) Infeed and outfeed rollers - The manual suggest to set them level but I did that and am getting some snipe. I know that I probably want to raise them and found a previous post. That post I found had set the roller closest to the planer to just a hair above the rollers on the bed of the planer below the pressure rollers. The second one out was set 1/16" higher and the farthest one out 1/16" above the second roller.
Does anyone have some comment on these settings? Thx
