I have an older Rockwell/Delta 37-315 jointer. The fence will not completely square to the tables. I can square to the infeed but not the outfeed and vise versa. My straight edge shows a high spot in the middle of the fence about .019. The high spot is toward the bottom of the fence.
I have been advised repeatedly to have a machine shop true it up. I have been to three and have called two and they cannot do it. I took it to a saw shop that grinds huge paper cutting blades and they can't put a magnent to it to hold it.
It seems that it would be an large task to hand lap it and I am not sure what the results would be.
Any advice will be appreciated.
