Anyone got a good method to align jointer beds to ensure they are completely true and level? In the past, I used a method posted in FWW where you make a very long jointer test bar out of MDF. Actually, you make three and by putting three screws into each and making adjustments that follow the directions, you wind up with a dead flat and true plane to check everything.
This takes awhile and I was wondering if anyone out there had a quicker method.
I have a 36" and 48" machined straight edges, so that's not a problem. My jointer is an 8" model with a 72" bed.
Thanks!!!!
