So I posted a few days ago about not being able to get my jointer beds properly aligned on my new combo machine. After many people chimed in about shimming the infeed table, I've gone ahead and gotten it coplanar to the outfeed using several brass shims . Using a 36" precision straight edge I got it all even.
I set the infeed table for a 1/16" cut, and when im feeding boards over the cutterhead, the last 1" or so of the board does not get jointed. If I keep pressure on the infeed table throughout the cut then the entire board will get jointed, but if I keep pressure on the outfeed than there is always a short section at the end thats not being jointed. I dont think this is considered snipe since it is never being touched by the cutter.
Furthermore, there is always a slight dip in the jointed edges of boards, about .010".
Ive owned two jointers before this and never had issues like this, and am at a loss as to how to correct it.
Please see the attached pictures illustrating the issues.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
