DJ 20 assembly glitch

[Mark L.]

Since there have been a few DJ 20 questions as of late, I thought I'd chime in with another. After hoisting the jointer up onto the cabinet/base all by my lonesome (a car floor jack, a lot of 4x4's and very little common sense, IF you must know) I began to bolt it down. But the jointer doesn't sit flat on the cabinet/base. It sits atop 2 of the round head bolts that secure the motor. If I tighten the 8 bolts, the cabinet bends upwards to meet the bottom of the jointer. Are all of the DJ 20's like this??? Mark L. (Still searching the shop floor for my nuts......)

hope you recovered the nads...fortunately there are not too many pieces you can make in wood that will confuse you as you search the floor. Delta instructions are not all that accurate (my DJ15 said to mount the motor pulley the wrong way...as I always assume the engineers know what they are talking about, I did it their way, then fought and fought the resulting alignment issue until I finally said screw it and did it the way I always thought made more sense).
