Hey Gang,
I was reading over the knife setting section in the instruction manual
for my jointer (8 inch Delta DJ20) and was a bit dismayed about the
height specified. The manual recommends setting the blades 0.015
inches (approximately 1/64 th inch) above the circular portion of the
cutterhead. If I want to take any cut larger than 1/64 th the woood
will contact with the cutterhead circumference. The manual states not
to take more than 1/8 inch cut but it it looks like taking more than a
64th I'll be hitting the cylinder. Of course I'm noticing this now
and not during work time to discuss it with whomever is representing
Delta these days, but you guys and (maybe,..., hopefully ) gals may be
able to chime in with your own thoughts.
If you have another brand jointer could you post its recommended blade
settings here? Thanks,

Marc
