HELP!
I am using a friends Jointer (which is older than me) and clearly I’m doing something wrong. The first batch of boards I put through it came out fine but yesterdays boards are AwFUl. The boards are 5.75” wide by 4 1/2 feet long, the jointer is an OLD 6 1/8” wide Craftsman, and I’m trying to joint (flatten) the wide face of some 4/4+ thick rough sawn boards. They are getting thin on the leading end but the trailing end isn’t getting much of anything taken off. I'm basically making the worlds largest wedges. I think I know what the problem is but I’d love to hear what guys think.
Thank you,
Don
