First let me say hello as I am new on this forum.
I recently purchased a 1988 DJ 20 8" Delta jointer which hadn't been cleaned since the day it was made. I decided to take it apart and clean off the grime and rust. Like many, I wish I had taken before and after pictures. I may have to blog about this particular clean and rebuild because I have found so little information about these machines. That said, I have one final challenge before I button this monster up.
The challenge is the fence, no matter what I try I cannot get the fence to square on the vertical axis. In essence, the out-feed side is higher than the in-feed side. It's almost as if I need to shim the base by a 1/4".
I will add pics later tonight but this is just frustrating. If you have any suggestions please pass along. If you live in or around Largo FL send me an IM.
Many Thanks,
Rick
