7. must be coplanar perfectly aligned with each other side to side and front to back The tables on the PJ 882HH 8 Parallelogram Jointer have been accurately aligned at the factory but they could possibly need adjustment in the future To make those once complicated adjustments much easier we built in special cams two on the front and two on Each corner of the infeed and outtesd the rear of each table These cams allow the user to correct this tables has an adjustable cam for alignment should that become necessary and do it quickly correcting coplanar misalignments The a 3 T outboard cams on the front of the saving time and money machine are under the height levers The mechanism that moves the tables up and down also keeps them close to the cutterhead throughout their range of travel Keeping the tables close to the cutterhead produces cleaner more accurate cuts and a superior finish on the wood Table Heights The outfeed table is fitted with limiting stops that control the full up and full down travel A lever moves the outfeed table up and down and another lever locks it in place Rabbets up to 1 2 by 1 2 can be cut on the PJ 882 8 Parallelogram Jointer Note Rabbets cannot be cut with the models equipped with the helical cutterhead n The infeed table also has an easy to use lever for locking it in Both tables use levers to adjust Ri Ra P their heights The infeed table position However a much longer lever makes adj
8. usting the height lever is augmented by an of the massive table to set cut depth up to 2 maximum automatic depth limiter that can be released for deep cuts with the XC Ptionally accurate twist of a small knob A handy depth stop knob automatically limits cut depth to 1 8 To increase cut depth simply pull that knob out rotate it 90 degrees and the infeed table can be set to make cuts up to 1 2 deep A scale on the side of the infeed table makes it easy to set the exact cut depth you want Precision Fence The PJ 882HH 8 Parallelogram Jointer comes with a fully adjustable fence system that makes high precision bevel cuts easy to do The 38 3 16 long by 4 34 tall cast iron fence is supported by large iron components that assure The fence has an insert left that prevents scratching the table when it is moved The stability and truly accurate operating mechanism right allows precise bevel setting and a very stable fence when cuts at any angle The fence even has a special non mar insert that allows it to glide over the cast iron table smoothly without leaving annoying scratches The fence has adjustable stops at 90 degrees vertical and 45 degrees in or out Changing fence angles is made especially precise by a rack and pinion gear drive system operated by a 3 34 diameter cast iron handwheel fitted with a spinner handle A large lever locks the fence at any bevel angle desired Of course t
