Please help a woodworker who is about to go NUTS. I am using my jointer 6" Sprunger model that I recently got up and running, and "thought" I had it setup/calibrated right.
I am face jointing poplar to glue up for bed legs. The pieces go throught great, w/ no snipe to be seen or felt. The problem is when I put the 2 freshly jointed faces together, they rock back and forth around the center. If I force one end together, I get a 1/8" gap at the other end.
I tried pushing a little harder in the center, to create a slight "cup" in the center, no luck. I tried resetting my knives, w/ the Jointer Pal, no luck.
Please help. Any tips or fixes are GREATLY appreciated. I am desperate and frustrated. Leaving the shop for the night.
