Hello,
I've got a "new" to me 1940's Walker Turner/Craftsman jointer. I am having some issues and this is the first jointer I have used. Please bare with me as I am new to wood working.
The first issue is when I use it, the front end of the board is planed away more than the back end of the board. Pretty much giving me a taper at the front end of the board. Doing some more research, it suggests my tables may not be co-planar. If that is the case, which table do should I use a my "source" for my measurements? In other words, if I use the infeed table as my reference and have the outfeed table match it? Both tables are on dovetails.
Is there anything else I should check before shimming my jointer?
I do have a Fulton 50" bar coming so that I can take measurements.
Thank you,
K Murphy
