  • this will set the outfeed table pretty darn close to the highest point of travel of the knives on the cutter head.

  • @bedofrazorsqwerty

    It's sniping the board. Usually this is caused by the outfeed table being set too high causing the board to drop and the jointer to take off more on one end. To fix this get a board and joint it, wide side against the fence. Stop half way across the board then stop. Turn the machine off. pull the board back a bit, and then raise or lower the outfeed table until the outfeed just touches the board. Repeat until you get a straight edge with no snipe.

  • I have problems with my jointer where it'll take off the end more than the middle. I'm looking for an answer on how to avoid this or fix it. I've experimented with different speeds, depths and always start with the bowed side up as I had learned elsewhere. Any thoughts? Thanks.

  • @WingChunLover2 ITs a 6 inch Jet

  • What kind of jointer is that?
