I recently purchased the G0490 jointer.
Everything was going good until it was time for a test cut. Before I turned on the machine I checked the blades with a straight edge at the back, middle and front. All four just kissed it. Ran a piece of poplar through on edge and flat and I get ridges. Tried again with a ridiculously slow feed rate and I get the same results.
The jointer vibrates pretty good. I think I have narrowed it to the pulley on the motor. Will this cause the ridges or ripples I get in the jointed board? Should I be looking elsewhere? Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Todd
