Hi guys I have no problem jointing short pieces up to say 3 foot, but anything longer and I get a bow in the middle of the timber. Any advice would be great. neilc


Your outfeed table is not tangent to the cutter head. If your bow is concave, the outfeed table is too low. If it is convex, the table is too high. If the error is slight, you will (as you have discovered) still get a fairly straight edge on shorter stock. DD
