So...Been playing a lot with this and learning how to joint bits of wood. I've just purchased a 38" Veritas Aluminium Straight Edge to check the tables. Having heard so much about these machines being bang on off the pallet I was bit surprised to see there is a definite rock on the straight edge so just looking to check I'm doing this correctly and what an acceptable tolerance is. It might well be within spec and I'm just being anal about getting things as close to perfect etc
I have around 7 inches of the straightedge on the outfeed table and the rest on the infeed. Pressing down on the straightedge on the outfeed table a gap appears at the far end of the infeed (furthest away from the cutterhead) - using feelers the gap is 0.55 to 0.6mm or 0.024 of an inch. Around the cutterhead the outfeed and infeed appear pretty damn good. I am assuming the infeed table is sloping down and away from the cutterhead albeit only 0.6m over its length.
Is that within specs.? I could ask the dealer in NZ who sold it but I'm reckoning the folks on here know more about the kit given my last 3 visits to them :)
Thanks for any pointers.
