A new machine of that size and type made in China would run over $6000 and still would not have as long a set of beds. So, even after you get the tables and fence reground, you will have spent far less and have a jewel of a jointer.<br /><br />JeffPremodern Blokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341688338690161075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-51025461008495907522010-12-14T17:46:52.430-05:002010-12-14T17:46:52.430-05:00Hi Sinjin,

In order for the chassis ways to be out of plane, the entire cast chassis would have to be out of plane, that is, twisted - that's a possibility of course. I'm thinking that since the carriages stay in a set position all the time, except when changing knives, it might not matter too much if the carriage ways are a bit twisted. With the carriage in a set position, and the in-feed table moving atop the carriage (the out-feed basically stays in the same place all the time), I shouldn't have any issue with any potential carriage twist. The 4 adjustment points on each carriage should allow me to get the tables planar with one another unless the chassis was very badly twisted. Once the tables are co-planer with one another, all should be good. <br /><br />Please let me know if you see a flaw in this logic!<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-20653461946903298252010-12-14T15:34:17.418-05:002010-12-14T15:34:17.418-05:00Hi Chris, had similar experience with an old machi...Hi Chris, had similar experience with an old machine. If possible before you get the tops ground. Try and check that the mounts on the bed itself are in a plane. You may end up getting the the tops ground in a plane but not in plane with the mounting face.<br />Anyway great posts as usual.<br />Sinjinsinjinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296750274995713285noreply@blogger.com
