I'm looking to tune my G0490 jointer and want to make sure the beds are coplanar, but I don't have a long straightedge to use. I see that Lee Valley has a 50" one, but that isn't quite long enough for this jointer (at least I'm thinking so right now). The price is right for it and I'd be willing to pay a bit more (up to $120) for one that would be longer.
Anyone have recommendations for a long straightedge like Lee Valley has?
Or maybe someone here in Omaha would be willing to come by to help me verify that my jointer tables are coplanar.
