Hoping someone is familiar with this jointer. I am trying to adjust the parallelogram table and am having a bit of difficulty doing so. Worst case scenario, I can call Grizzly on Monday but just thought I'd try here first.
I have the outfeed table parallel to the cutterhead, it was pretty much done at the manufacturer and I checked it with a straightedge by setting the straightedge towards the fence and lowering the outfeed table until the straightedge just barely contacted the cutterhead body (not blade). I then moved the straight edge to the middle of the table and checked, and finally closest to me and checked. It seemed right on.
So now I need to ensure the infeed table is parallel to the outfeed table. I raise both tables all the way up (over the cutterhead) and when I lay the straightedge across both tabes, there is a slight rocking of the straightedge. This is where I am confused.
To adjust the table, Grizzly uses eccentric bushings (which I am not familiar with) which are locked in place by set screws and some are real hard to get to, it's almost as if I would need to remove the fence and the fence carriage to get to them. There are 4 on each side (front and back) and I have no idea which I need to adjust.
I have read the instructions several times but they just don't cover in depth the operation of these bushings.
Hoping someone has similar design and could give me some tips.
Thanks in advance.
