SUCCESS!! It was a right pain to do but I have got para-planer tables and a (almost fully functioning thicknesser... i'll explain) I managed to lift the cutter block up a couple of mm's. Lifting it thought threw all the work of fine tuning the thicknesser that I had done yesterday because...

I think this could be the answer! I did take photos of the P/T whilst I was taking it apart and can see in the photos the cutter block assembly did sit higher than how it is sat now. Ok I’m going to try loosening off the cutter assembly and raising it to see if I can get it lined up.

I was frustrated days ago! I’m almost at the point of throwing it of a cliff. But at the same time I am not going to let this thing beat me! Thanks for confirming the knife height is correct (or close enough) at least that is one variable I can eliminate. What part is the bed stops? Is that...

Im starting to feel like Im chasing my tail. So I have put the in-feed and out-feed tables back on now that I got the thicknesser working. I just dont see how its possible to get these two table set up correctly. I have taken some photos of the current state of the machine. As you can see...

Sorry Im not being clear. Currently the knives are a hair higher than the out-feed table. I took a steel rule and placed it on the out feed table, when the cutter head us moved by hand it drags the steel rule about 5mm. But to get them that height they have to stick out quite far because the...

Thanks for all the replies. Thanks this is what I thought, I cant seem to adjust the tables to a point where they in plane with one another and also 1mm above the cutter block. Yes thats what I man paraplanar. But when setting the tables level from what have seen/read you set them when the...

Hello, Im in dire need of some help. I picked up a Kity 636 Planer/ Thicknesser a couple of months ago. It was a bit rusty and stiff so I had the great idea of stripping it apart and restoring it. :roll: I have stripped it all down, removed the rust and old paint. Resprayed it with new...
