I have a 2030 makita planer /jointer where the jointer will not cut a strai ght edge. On a board 2' long the middle of the board is cut deeper than th e ends and is not smooth nor matter how slow I go with the board. the tabl es are true but can't figure out why it won't cut a straight edge. Any h elp out there.

Outfeed is lower than the cutter
The ripple (which is what I'm guessing you mean by "not smooth" if it isn't just tearout from dull knives) is owing to the knives not being all at the same height--the tall one(s) take a bigger cut than the others.
The outfeed table can match the the cutter height ok but if it has some sag, that will cause the symptom as well.
And, how are you measuring the height adjustment -- it's got to be dead on, not just close.
I have no idea what the particular tool is; I've only got old heavy iron so no real specifics on the given one itself, just general setup info.
