I have changed the blades many times over the last 10+ years. I took out the springs and use a wider blade. I use the little jig that came with it. set the blade adjust the screws and use a feeler gauge to determine correct height. Not had any problems getting flat stock. Did the same thing this last time. I have a new stock of quarter sawn white oak that's been in the shop environment 3-4 months now. I'm having a problem getting boards flat. I'm getting a lot of movement after I joint one face and edge. I reviewed procedures for stacking and letting them acclimate and taking equal amounts off both faces at the planer, after getting a parallel side. All the lumber came from one supplier in one bin, if you will. Is it possible I got a load of lumber that just had a lot of internal stresses, even for quarter sawn oak? Could it be an issue with the jointer blade set up? I've reviewed my technique at the jointer, wax the tables.
Thanks for any thoughts. Brian
