Yes... but at least I can say that I found one
that day. I have spent hours hunting these damn
orange sticks of wood called pencils

BUT, don't you often find lots of leaded tools in your ol' dust
collector trash can separator when you empty it?

You know, Rod Serling could have made a couple of episodes out of this
thread.

And remember one of the wrecker life's axioms:

"If you lose a tool, chances are 7 to 3 it will be part of a set."

And that REALLY frosts my cookies. If I lose, say, one drill from a
set I can't rest until I replace it. A set of anything with a hole in
it is so-o-o-o-o-o irritating. Like a big smile from Raquel Welch
with one of her front teeth missing.

Maybe my therapist was right!

I've been buying tape measures for years... any size or brand, as long

my theory is that some day I'll have so damn many that I'll always be
able to find one when I need it..

Yes, but they won't match each other...

Patriarch,
who's found another tool to blame.

All of this advice was really good. I dropped the outfeed table by
approx. 1/16" and took much less (~1/32") wood off each pass. This
seems to help quite a bit. Thanks to all for their invaluable help!

You dropped the outfeed table to reduce the cut? I missed the start here, so
maybe there IS a reason, but for 50 years now, I've raised the infeed table to
reduce the cut on any jointer.

Yeah, I saw that, too...

Unless it was way too high before, that isn't the way--at least if the
object is to get straight edge for glue joint, etc. The outfeed table
should be set initially at precisely the height of the knives when
they're at TDC (top dead center). The knives also should be checked to
ensure they are both precisely parallel to the table and uniform in
height. Then, if there's a slight concavity or convexity to the jointed
edge, adjust the outfeed table slightly for this--but it shouldn't
take more than a few thou, nothing approaching 1/16".

HTH...

....about aligning rear jointer table w/ knives...

Of course, all the above assumes the two tables are parallel w/ each
other in both planes as well as flat...
