1975 craftsman jointer/planer

Hey
On most joiners I’ve ever seen or used they are flush. as far as the flatness of the tables goes a machine shop might be able to mill them flat for you, depending on how much that cost it might be cheaper to get another jointer

How bad is the wave on the outfeed? It shouldn’t consistantly cause an issue across the length of the board if it is the cause of an issue.

A dip would cause the end to dip down causing less of a cut, then lift up causing more cut than before then even out. Even waves would even out across the highs as the board went across them.

The sine wave tells me the knives are not set even and only 1 is cutting, or your feed rate is way too fast. I get that on mine when I do a fast feed.

there’s no wave on the outfeed. it’s high on both ends.
