Adjusting Gibs
The function of the table gibs is to eliminate exces-
sive play in the table movement. The gibs also con-
trol how easy the tables move up and down.
To adjust the table gibs, do these steps:
1. Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the two outfeed
table gib nuts on the side of the jointer base
(Figure 69).
2. Using a 3mm hex wrench, evenly tighten the gib
setscrews a small amount, then check the table
by moving it up and down. Adjust the setscrews
as needed until the friction of the table move-
ment is balanced between minimal play and
ease of movement.
Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it harder
to adjust the tables.
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 with the other table.
4. Set the outfeed table height as described in
Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 22.
