Delta Jointer

Andy, i had the same issue, check your gib screws, the little allen head set screws on the back of the machine. Mine were cranked down pretty good and the outfeed table wouldnt move a lick.

I’m back on the same jointer, though, I figured how to raise and lower the tables. However, the infeed and outfeed tables are not parallel. The tables are out in such a way that they form a “frown”. Extreme ends are lower than the adjacent ends next to the cutter head. Is there any way to adjust this?

Youll have to shim the ways. Dovetail ways , right ?

Yes, dovetail ways, but, there is no play in the tables, so how can I shim them? I guess when I loosen the gib screws there will be play.
