I recently bought a new 10 inch combo jointer/thicknesser.
The new machine was delivered just before Christmas ...out of true ... I could not set the fence square along its length. The edge of the timber can not be machined square to the face ... the primary reason for a jointer one would think.
After adjusting the machine, the outfeed table is absolutely level with blade at TDC across the cutting edge ... near and far side pics tell the story ..photo 4.JPGphoto 3.JPG
The Infeed table is now also coplanar with outfeed table (pics showing table moved down 20/1000th below the outfeed) for near and far sides .... and below the blades by the same 20/1000. photo 1.JPGphoto 2.JPG
So you would think that all would now be good,
BUT I am still unable to set the fence square along its length.
The infeed table is square to the fence all along the length of the infeed table, ..... and drops by slightly less than 2 thousandth at the blade side of the outfeed table .... but is 11 thousandth at the end of the outfeed table!!.photo_outfeed end.jpgphoto_2 outfeed table start.jpg
Obviously there is a sag at the near end of the outfeed table (OR RISE IN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OUTFEED TABLE).
I've got to find now how to shim the outfeed table and still keep the current situation at the blades and coplanar.
If I cant find a solution can I just square the sides in the table saw ... or will the face be warped because of the skewed output table?
The saga continues
