Scott at MyGrowthRings just posted a good interview with Nick as well. It answers a lot of questions you (and I) probably have.

Re: crosscut bevel on short pieces
I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm getting ready to make a small tray for a valet type box out of 1/4" thick cedar and this will be perfect!

Re: table alignment
Jumping on the thread to chime in and say that I had this exact issue. They are still out there! My machine is a 1980 model that has been upgraded over the years to a 520 table system. I got it used and I've owned it about 15 years now, and have always been able to get it satisfactorily aligned, but...

In the pictures I see the Cam Lock Handle on the Headrest is not down all the way. If it is too tight to go completely down when engaging the Way Tube Tie Bar, then it may need adjusting. When everything is adjusted properly the Jointer with the Dust chute installed should sit on the Headrest and l...

Re: Jointer dust chute upgrade issues
Thanks! I'll give it a shot and see. At this point everything was loosey goosey in these photos on both the roller and mounting posts, but I will double check the roller adjustment. I like to do that periodically to make sure it stays even :-)

Jointer dust chute upgrade issues
I wanted to post to see if could get some guidance. I've been restoring/upgrading an older jointer and everything was coming along nicely until I went to mount the jointer on my Mark V. The little legs on the dust chute are preventing the way tube lock from disengaging. I'm also having trouble figur...
