Thicknesser height adjustment handwheel for Holzmann and Bernardo machines

This height adjustment handwheel, item 96, is a replacement part designed for Holzmann HOB305ABSSMW2 and Bernardo PT305DS planer thicknessers.

Fitted to the thicknesser adjustment mechanism, this handwheel allows the operator to adjust the height of the thicknesser table and therefore set the required finished thickness of the workpiece.

Its large circular design provides a comfortable grip and makes it easier to operate the table raising and lowering mechanism.

What is the function of the thicknesser handwheel item 96?

The height adjustment handwheel transmits the rotary movement required to raise or lower the thicknesser table.

By turning the handwheel, the operator can adjust the distance between the thicknesser table and the cutterblock according to the required workpiece thickness.

It is therefore an important component for convenient and accurate adjustment of the thicknesser.

When should the thicknesser adjustment handwheel be replaced?

The handwheel may need to be replaced if it is broken, cracked, bent or otherwise damaged, if the hub is excessively worn, or if it no longer operates the height adjustment mechanism correctly.

A damaged or worn handwheel may cause:

• Difficulty adjusting the thicknesser table height;
• Abnormal or difficult rotation of the handwheel;
• Excessive play in the handwheel mounting;
• Poor transmission of movement to the adjustment mechanism;
• Difficulty setting the required thicknessing height.

If the table height is difficult to adjust, it is also recommended to check the condition of the complete raising and lowering mechanism before replacing the handwheel.
