    May I suggest for your safety and anyone around you that you get a professional out and look at/setup/show you how to work the machine?

    Planer thicknessers may look like a safe machine to operate, but if not setup correctly can seriously hurt you.

Forget changing the motor unless you're contemplating a change to a spiral cutter head, 1-1/2hp should be sufficient for a 10" machine unless you're going to give it an absolute pizzling, in which case there will be plenty of other mechanical parts failing as well.
    Its the top tables mate jointer stressing me out so much
    i i am starting fresh no locking screws or lifting screws even in the table
    What is my reference point for outfeed table?
    i have tried to use the drum making the gap between the drum the same both ends and its about 1mm above the drum inbetween the blades
    but i seem to be going round in circles
    how do i adjust all 4 corners when 2 are fixed?

    That's less than 10% of a difference - i'd say it wouldn't make any difference in terms of safety.
    Wasn't really looking for speed was more for torque as i had he motor and the guy said it was under powered for jarrah sleepers.

    There are two adjustments on the infeed and outfeed tables, the overall height is adjustable up and down and the tables themselves can be tilted to raise or lower the table ends.
    Sorry mate not very clear in my description it was the jointer tables i wanted to reduce snipe on.

    dont worry too much mate i have used 1 before a lot bigger and a lot scarier, i bought a lot of oak windows from a Joiners near me in the uk over 30 years got very friendly with the owner and he would let me go play with the machines.
    I renovated my house and he gave me everything at cost if i made it myself all skirting boards/architrave door frames from stock oak i even ground my own spindle moulder blades for fully bespoke pattern all the way through the house so i learned a lot
    just never owned 1 before?
    the Joiners stuff was huge and old and worked like a dream

    Thanks again but still need idiot guide to leveling and paralleling my tabletops
    Cheers
