Hey Gang, I was reading over the knife setting section in the instruction manual for my jointer (8 inch Delta DJ20) and was a bit dismayed about the height specified. The manual recommends setting the blades 0.015 inches (approximately 1/64 th inch) above the circular portion of the cutterhead. If I want to take any cut larger than 1/64 th the woood will contact with the cutterhead circumference. The manual states not to take more than 1/8 inch cut but it it looks like taking more than a
64th I'll be hitting the cylinder. Of course I'm noticing this now and not during work time to discuss it with whomever is representing Delta these days, but you guys and (maybe,..., hopefully ) gals may be able to chime in with your own thoughts. If you have another brand jointer could you post its recommended blade settings here? Thanks, Marc- posted
