Default Is My Planer Set Up Correctly?

I can set it all up again, shim the board and post another picture or you
guys can trust me when I say it's shimmed correctly so that all movement
is prevented. As I mentioned to dpb, every board needs to be shimmed
differently, so even if I posted a picture of *that* shimmed board, you'd
have no way of knowing of I shimmed *every* board correctly. You're just
going to have to trust me...or not.


Other way 'round ... not that we don't "trust"; you came asking for help
and from afar, _seeeing_ pictures of how you had the set up when you
actually tried to make a trial run is the only way we can see if
something shows up to us that didn't to you.

Your choice of how far to try to push the long-distance diagnostics but
the clearly obvious seems to have mostly been eliminated (other than the
very first basic test I suggested to prove the planer itself is doing
what it's supposed to).

Remember, too, you're looking for minute details...a few thou here and a
few thou there can add up to real...
