After looking carefully at the alignment on the Ridgid jointer I just got, (See Gloat) I wasn't satisfied with the adjustment of the cutters to the table. It seemed to need to be aligned.
On the original cutter head, with knives, I understand that the jack screws under the knives would change the height of the knives to match the table, and you can't do that with the shelix head/cutters. My solution was to shim support bearing to get it right. Luckily the one on the front of the machine was low.
