Makita thicknesser tables

[Nick c]

Can anyone confirm that I have the tables set up correctly hopefully you can see from the photos one is of the infeed side and one of outfeed side. The tips of the sub tables are level with the thicknesser bed.Thanks

If I remember correctly you should have the thickness of a playing card at the edge of your table . I’ll see if I can find the manual for it - nb2012 yeah

Your welcome- tbh it’s easy to miss , it’s a decent portable planer so have fun just take shallow passes and you should get decent results..

Cheers will do. Getting juddering of the boards as they go thru need to wax the bed and hopefully with the sub tables adjusted will solve the problem. Don't think it can be blunt knives or rollers causing the problem as it's a new machine.

Yeah mine was new and after setting up tables it worked out of the box ,send some 2x2 or 3x3 , don’t use short bits of timber - get the blades close to your timber and then keep lowering the blades until you make contact with the timber and then lower blades by 0.5 to 0.01 each time . Take your time and you should be ok ..
