Hi Guys, i have a recurring problem with my planer!
It is a record pt260 (it looked good in the shop!), and it has given me nothing but pain!. I have read everything on how the infeed/outfeed tables need to be parallel, and how the blade height relative to the outfeed table is critical. But no matter how many hours i spend with a straight edge - i cannot get the tables exactly parallel, there just isn't enough play in the adustments of the outfeed table (a grub screw is about it). Consequently i cannot accuratly edge joint timber to make wide panels - there is always an irritating gap at one end. How do you guys adjust your tables and what are the most critical adjustments. Sorry to whine a little...
