I'm posting below two pics of a piece of formerly square stock. I ran the piece through my power jointer about 50 times -- jointing the same face and direction each time -- to see if it's cutting squarely.
As the first pic shows, the lateral adjustment seems to be pretty good.
But you can see from second pic that the longitudinal adjustment seems to leave something to be desired, in that the repeated passes have turned the stock into a wedge.
Any ideas what's causing this?
Should I even worry about it, i.e., couldn't I just make sure to run each piece of stock in both directions in order to get around it?
TIA,
