Help with Jointer Setup
Hiya,
I'm having some issues with my jointer and was hoping for some help. I'm getting a tapered board with the front of the board narrower than the trailing end (I'm edge jointing). I understand this could be due to the tables not being parallel or the cutter head is too low. I checked the tables and they seem fine. I did lower the outfeed table slightly to where if I put a board on it and manually spin the cutter, it moves the board about 1/2" or so backwards. But now I'm getting snipe. In the past, I've fixed that by setting the outfeed table to be just below the top of the cutters. Am I to assume that there is a very, very fine line between snipe and taper here or is there something else I should be addressing? I believe my technique is fine (hasn't changed in the 10-15 years since I've been using a jointer with no problems). Cheers, cc |
