Table Parallelism
For the best cutting results, the in-feed
and out-feed tables of the jointer must be
paralleled to the cutter-head and to each
other.

adjustment is a complex task so it is
recommended to make sure if your table
really needs to be adjusted before you
start adjusting.
To check the table parallelism,
disconnect the power to the jointer and
remove the cutter head guard. Now,
loosen the out-feed table lock, jam nuts
and positive stop bolts (at the back of the
jointer). Remove screws in the 4
eccentric bushings located under the out-
