Paralelogram Jointer Setup

[Julio Vargas]

There are several very good videos and write ups on setting up parallelogram jointers. I have noticed that none address something that the Grizzly manual requires which is to check the tables at both ends for parallel, and then also at a diagonal.

You can see this in Fig. 49 and 51 of the grizzly g0609 jointer.

Is this really necessary? I don't understand how if the tables are parallel at both ends, they could possibly be out of parallel on a diagonal if the outfeed table is parallel with the cutter head.

I just looked at the pages quickly. I do not see anu harm in going through all the recommendations on Grizzly's procedure. I wish some of my manuals were written that well.
