Do you set the tables perfectly level to the planer or slightly higher or lower? What works best?

I am waiting for my son to respond to this question. I purchased this for him.

I have mine level at the infeed and about 1/32" higher on the out feed. It compensates for the little that I plane off.

For the thicknesser, I set the extension tables dead level with the planer table surface, with some weight on it to simulate the actual conditions of use

Wow, You've got legs that aren't straight and sturdy huh? Mine are very sturdy and very straight. The griddle is also perfectly level which I was not expecting. Do you have the lower tray put in correctly?

Try this:- Remove the table top by unscrewing the four bolts under the top. - Put two washers under the two outside bolts (farthest away from the pedestal)- Re-attach the top tightening it just enough to see if it is level. If it is level, tighten it completely- If it is not level, add more washers until it is level. Hope it works. I bought this table and sent it back because it had no manual, instructions, casters and my table top had a rise in the middle and dishes would wobble on it.How is your table? Is the tray itself really smooth and level? Were there any instructions beyond the assembly diagram?Customer service at Carex is very helpful. They have a website and toll-free number if you need it.

I hope you realize that you must unclamp the router before making height adjustments above table. I cant see any other reason that you would have difficulties raising or lowering the router otherwise. It's not a true above the table adjustable router

You have to make sure everything is level. Once all the slides are in correct there should not be a problem. Had mine out during the holidays with all 10 Grandkids around. They all loved it, I had the same problem a few times but found out doing the assembly the right way works wonders. Mine still works great !!

I had to adjust mine with a hacksaw to get the correct height. The flanges at the top hide any imperfections. Make sure you have a level to hold against the side of the legs to be sure they are straight. Other than that the assembly is very straight forward.

Since you need to have the top of plate and table at the same plane, it seems your choices are to reduce the thickness of the plate either locally ( at the edges) or totally, or to deepen the lipped recess in the table. One less dramatic option would be to laminate the table to correct the difference.

The bottoms of the legs consist of black plastic discs screwed on via a bolt thread. In order to adjust the height of the table for levelness, you can twist the discs either into the legs or away.

Are you sure the unit is properly assembled? Either your adjustment bar is bent, or your placement needs to be backed off a notch (possibly both!). Either way, your "level position" isn't where you think it should be. Find that position and go with it!

should be level, but where I put them there as 0.5cm space between one and another and so works, hope you find it useful this answer

Separate for low and high can't change level of either but they are set very well

I purchased the Wixey WR 550 remote planer readout. It adapts easily to just about any planer. I have a Grizzly planer. Instructions show cable running from readout to scale running over top of planer. I ran mine under the table. Readout woorks very well and repeats wonderfully. It definately makes a huge difference in accuracy. Enjoy using it. I do!

This is mysterious. Raise the blade up as high as it will go and check with a square that you trust to see if the blade is truly perpendicular to the table. Make sure that the throat plate is not throwing off this check for square. If the blade is square to the table top, then you might try a run-out gauge on the saw's arbor. Excessive run-out is less likely in my opinion and probably wouldn't cause the uneven bases in any event. Finally, make sure you have a backer board behind your work piece.

I would limit the pieces to no shorter than 4 inches - anything shorter could risk catching in the blade assembly and causing damage and possible injury by itself. You could probably go shorter if you follow a short piece with longer piece that can be accessed from both sides to ensure the shorter piece is fully fed through the planer.

we put our table topupsidedown on the floor, placedthe legs in the desired location and drilled pilot holes where nneeded as per holes in the base. we then screwed the base to the table top ussing the pilot hole. take care to choose screws tht are flat tpped and shorter than the tabletop thickness. We have used ours as a standup computer table for the last year and we love it. Have had no problems at all, very sturdy.

Raise it all the way forward and it will release and fold back down flat. It clicks up notch by notch but when you finished just go up as far as you can and it should release and go back down flat. That's how mine works. So hope that does the trick for you. I love my table and it's been great purchase.
