OK, so I finally got around to buying a jointer this past week, and tried using it for the first time today (the first time I've ever even been close to a jointer that's on). Once I got the outfeed table aligned with the cutter blades correctly I thought all I really needed to do was push the piece of wood across and keep it pushed down on the outfeed table. Is that not right? I ended up with a curved edge that looks kind of like a boomerang. I'd sure appreciate any pointers you all might have. Thanks.
