    Expected flatness (jointing, planing, and table saw)

    Hi all,

    If I take board thru the jointer / planer process, what should I expect to get as far as any taper or parallelism? In other words, If I took dial calipers to both ends of a 24" board, would I get .010", .020", .001" difference in thickness (assuming every tool is set up correctly)?

    When I use my table saw and fence, I have the same question as above

    My equipment:
    Planer: Delta Invicta 22-650
    Jointer: Delta DJ 20
    Table Saw: Delta (I forget the model, but mid 90's heavy duty 220V / 2 or 3 hp / 10" blade with stock fence)




    PS: I don't have Delta fancy, they just happened to be available for a good price.

    PPS: I set up my jointer using a 50" aluminum bar guaranteed to be flat within .005". I am getting a dial indicator to measure my table saw fence runout. The only thing I can think of to do is to attach the indicator on my sled and run it along the length of the fence.
