I have recently been working on a small project that requires 20degree bevel cuts. Since I have the back of my contractor's saw "enclosed", I didn't want to take it apart to make the bevled cuts, and besides, the pieces were too short. I usually do short rips on the bandsaw, but decided I'd try this on the jointer. I set the face to 20 Deg. and started in. I knew it would take LOTS of passes, but after getting most of the way there I ended up with a beveled trapezoid instead of a rectangle :confused: :confused:
Normally, I have no problem with handling the jointer and it worked just fine with the fence square, both before and after. Any ideas what I did wrong? Feed pressure? I thought I was careful to hold it tight to the fence.
All suggestions welcomed!
