Default Planer alignment driving me insane

Yeah, after rereading I find that perhaps the best way to find a solution is
to accurately identify the machine to begin with.



I think he has a JOINTER-planer he's trying to align.
Allen, you need to get the infeed and outfeed tables parallel to each
other in both left-to-right and front-to-back planes.


They need to be on parallel planes.

Then align the
fence at 90 degrees to both. Don't worry about the gap between the
fence and table. It's inconsequential if the angle between fence and
table is right.
