Jet jj6csx jointer Coplanar adjustment

[Ray McGrath]

Anyone with experience adjusting the tables on the Jet JJ6CSX jointer? I'm high on the leading edge of the in-feed table by .008", actually the readings on both sides of the in-feed table nearest the cutterhead are the same .017", at the leading edge of the in-feed table my readings are .009 on the fence side and .005 on the operator side. The owners manual gives no guidance for adjusting for coplanar.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

New or used? Typically you don't adjust for that. Limited shimming can be done on the outfeed table otherwise it's a matter of having the tables ground. A parallelogram type table can be adjusted for coplaner as opposed to a dovetailed set up which can be adjusted slightly before having it ground. Shimming is done on the outfeed table.

More info in your question would be helpful.
