Hi All,
I've been trying to align an older Grizzly 8" jointer and need advice. I shimmed the tables and they are co-planar. Then I shimmed the cutterhead because it was tilted -- more of a gap on the fence side than on the side with the switch when referenced off the outfeed table.
I set the outfeed table such there was a 0.015" space between top-dead-center and a straight edge spanning the tables. When I set the knives with a 32nd of an inch showing beyond where they are held in the cutterhead, they bang into the infeed table.
Should I remove the shims on the cutterhead?
Thanks,
Gil
