Abstract
A locking mechanism for a thickness planer having a base and a carriage with a cutting head. The carriage is mounted to a plurality of support columns movably attached to the base. The locking mechanism includes a first lock plate associated with the base and positioned adjacent to a first pair of the support columns and a second lock plate associated with the base and positioned adjacent to a second different pair of the support columns. An actuator is coupled to the first lock plate and the second lock plate and is configured for causing the first lock plate to engage the first pair of the support columns and the second lock plate to engage the second pair of the support columns to exert a clamping force by moving the first and second lock plates towards each other to firmly secure the carriage in position.
