I have just gotten a Delta DJ20 37-350 jointer. The chip collection is an issue. Initially, very little would come out of the chip collection port, most if not all would be expelled out of the top as the chips travel around the cutter head and are slung out. I have enclosed the chute (put a top on it) and that helps but not enough. I have noticed a piece under the cutter head on the out feed side that seems to be designed to direct the chips towards the chute. The gap for the chips to go down the chute piece gets clogged easily.
I have attached a picture of the clog for reference.
Does anyone have some experience with this? Your guidance and advise would be appreciated.
