July 24, 201214 yr comment_26459 Yesterday, I spoke at length with John Moody and he was in the middle of a knife change on his Craftsman Jointer. He told me that he was having a tough time getting all of the blades adjusted flat across the table and that he had spent an hour on one blade. This morning I treked out to the wood shop to check mine. With dial indicator in tow I swept across the blade and it dropped .030 or almost a 32nd of an inch. My jointer is older and it has an adjustment that you can raise or lower the drive pulley side to make the blades flat with the feed tables. I removed the blades, stoned the plates and the gooves and reset the entire thing. Took about two hours but not I'm dead zero across the blades and only have about .001 runout at the blade tips when I rotate the cutter head. As much as the thought repulses me, should I kick him for telling me his issue or kiss him because now there's no chop or taper in the machne? Ron DudelstonSite HostAbove and Beyond WoodWorks Report

July 25, 201214 yr comment_26462 Must have been something about jointers this week end and beginning. I had to put new blades in mine and forgot how long to set the thing up took. As for kick or kiss him. I would say a hand shake and some cobbler with ice cream for him would suffice greatly.Wayne MahlerGod bless and protect our troops that serve so we can be free. Report
