Jointer Setup
I use a 1/2 X 1/2 bar of aluminum about a foot long placed on the out feed
table. I adjust the cutters so that they just make a barely audible sound as the cutter passes under the bar. I adjust both ends of the cutter, then move onto the next cutter. The aluminum bar does not want to move off of the table and the audible sound is so minute you have to listen very carefully for it. I get true and accurate jointed edges. Don Dando |

That's essentially what I did except I used a board with a known straightedge. It was all in how much "contact" I let the blades make as to whether I got snipe or taper. I think I've got it dialed in now. Cheers, cc |
