elektra beckum planer thicknesser hc260 manual

Cutter knife height is adjusted on the blades themselves.Yes I have placed a straight edge along the entire planer beds. I can only change the alignment of it via the grub screws as I have described. I now use the edge and gauges which I feel is more accurate.My outfeed table does not raise or lower as such. Roger you are a funny manWe've had some pretty cold nights recently and if you warm your workshop up?I could ask for advice on how to heat the garden but fortunately the planer spends the nights in the house proberbly warmer than me! Back to the drawing board?Lord Nibbo:Thanks for the tip but this is the blade alignment method I used to use. Also, it is highly likely that the problem is due to the table alignment as this snipe disappeared completely today.I feel that the main problem is that the EB manuals do not give anywhere near enough information about their machines for the bits that the user can easily change. Previous planing has been dead straight althougth I have experienced occasional rear end planing snipe. Mercifully, it then got too dark (besides being perishing freezing today - yes I do not have the luxury of an ondoor w/s - mine is the back garden ).Clearly, something has changed as this problem has not always been the case. Having played about with this, I notice that adjusting the alignment of the O/F table affects the setting of the knives (measured as a max figure over the height of the O/F). The nub of the problem is that today (having fitted new blades) I have noticed that in planer mode the finished work (whilst beautifully planed) is bevelled in that the 'straight' edge is concave - both the leading and trailing sections of the length have more taken off.Having messed about with the knife settings for ages, I noticed that there are two grub screws fitted to the mountings of the outfeed table that affect the alignment of this table in relation to the infeed and cutter block. I understand how to set the planer knives but feel that the EB manuals could be more detailed in their instructions. Second go with it as a new topic.I have wasted a precious day xxxxing about with my EB HC260 P/T so I hope for some clues so I don't waste tomorrow.I have had this P/T for some months and I am now squaring loads of rough planed stock to pretty exacting requiremenst.

I have had no responses so maybe the more clever of you can't see the original. I tagged this post onto another thread to do with the same machine.
