I got a used 16" jointer, an SCMI F410.
I cannot move the outfeed table up or down more than 1/16".
The first photo here shows the hand knob, the second one shows the threaded rod where it attaches to a cross bar to move the cams

When I try to turn the knob clockwise it clamps up after about a half turn, when I go counter clockwise the knob comes off

If I use a wrench to keep that nut tight to the knob and go counter clockwise then I cannot turn the rod.
I loosened the limiters on the one cam adjuster that has them, but it makes no difference

I've googled this problem, and searched youtube, but have found nothing. I also have not been able to find a manual for the machine online, but I have read that the manual is not well written and so not useful.
Any help very much appreciated!
thank you, Mark
