I have a Powermatic PJ-882HH that I cannot seem to get adjusted correctly - What in the heck am I doing wrong?
The machine is taking a deeper cut at the leading end than on the trailing end - for a test I set the infeed table to take a slight cut and edge jointed an exactly 2" wide board that is 24" long. I run it thru three times always with the same end first.
At the leading edge the measurements were 2.00 - 1.960 - 1.920 - 1.870
The trailing edge measurements were 2.00 - 1.990 - 1.980 - 1.970
I have set the outfeed table to be even with the cutters, but that is somewhat hard with the carbide cutters - I think I have it right
I spent three hours adjusting the indeed table to be parallel with the outfeed table within .002
To measure the parallelism of the table I used a 50" long precision (so I am told) straight edge and feeler gauges and also a 78" Stabila level. Both methods showed the same.
What am I missing ?
