Outfeed table problem on my jointer

[William Hodge]

Bad idea to reverse machine polarity to use gravity to bring it back up.

Try with two people, one pulling up equally on each end of table while other tries to crank the knob.

I have an old SCM 12" jointer with basically the same design. Mine is from the 1970s and I ended up completely disassembling it to get the table to move freely. I did not have a manual and for the lift of me I could not figure out how to remove the eccentric bushings that are used to adjust the plane the table sits in. Mine have tapered pins with a nut on the outside of the bushing. Tighten the nut to pull the pin. My bushings needed cleaning to free the table up. Beware that once you remove them realigning the tables is finicky. Also my 12" wide table was really heavy and it took 2 people to remove and really 3 to put it back. the 410 would be really heavy. I used a Starrett Precision Master level to get the tables back in plane relative to each other.
