    Default Thicknesser Adjustment

    Hi Guys,
    New one on the block and I state my home is in Auckland NZ, but I'm messing about on a PC in Buenos Aires and cant sleep. Its 2-39am on Wed morning and the body clock wont reset, so I may as well do something useful.

    But that’s not what I hope one of you may be able to help with.
    I recently bought a secondhand 15" thicknesser, its built like a brick out house and goes really well. However, I am sure, though I haven't measured it, (but will when I get home) that the planer head is not parallel to the bed. I'm getting a finished product narrower one side than the other. I have reset the blades with care and confidant that is not the problem. Is there a way of adjusting the upper section to correct this? I mean apart from the raising and lowering for normal hight adjustment?
    Thanks in anticipation Robert. (Not quite sleepless in Seattle)

    G'day & Welcome.
    I know the feeling........sleeping in a strange place.......different time zone etc.
    After you get a few G'day's back I reckon you should post into the Thicknesser forum with your question and you'll get some specific answers there.
    If you need a hand to do this, just give me a yell.

    Hi Robert and welcome to the forum. As Watson suggested, start a thread and you will get heaps of advice.
