Default Is My Planer Set Up Correctly?

That is basically the whole point of my question. I know what the manual
says but I don't if the guy/gal who put mine together did it right. Since I
don't know squat about planers, I have no idea if the engineer's idea of
"the correct height" is what my planer is actually set at. What does
"correct height" mean - both rollers the same distance from the bed or the
outfeed lower then the infeed roller by 1/32"?

In other words, just because mine came out the box the way it did doesn't
mean that it's set up correctly.


Ergo, while there's no cross-sectional drawing as in the other manual,
it appears like with the Model 13 the position of the rollers is fixed
and you may/may not have an adjustable pressure spring or it may be
these are fixed, too...


There is no adjustment on mine, so either uneven is right or it's screwed
up. That's what I'm trying to determine.

Well, if works, doesn't it?

Seems to me like you're looking to make a problem that doesn't exist.
