Last week I had my jointer knives sharpened and went about re-installing them. After doing so, I flipped the machine on and it was much louder than normal (I have a 6" Jet jointer w/ the Quick-Set Knives). It had a very violent (for lack of a better term) noise to it and was shaking ever so slightly (typically it NEVER shakes)
I thought that perhaps it was the cutterhead, so I took the knives out and started the jointer up and it ran as well as it always had. A very low-decibel hum that I've grown accustomed to.
What could be making it grind with the knives in? It's odd that the machine runs super quiet without any knives installed; however when I install them it gets this odd, much louder noise.
