Run a few boards through and they will be smaller.

So does that mean if I make the height below the outfeed table, the boards will end up larger?

Much Thanks David,

I should have looked at that post closer and I would have seen the link.

Thanks,

If the blade is 0.001" above the plane of the outfeed table, the blade will drag the 'ruler'(see Dusty's u-tube) very nearly 0.1". So now it's 12+ years since this was posted and I found it looking for what's the right digital measurement to set the jointer knives. So obviously this is a ...

cheers everybody,

Thank you Dusty. You make it super clear.

Now I wonder how the two extra nubbins on the piece in this parts diagram fit. Anxious to hear back from SS engineering on this mystery.

Thanks again,

Thanks David. I was confused

David, I looked at the part and it looks like it has four nubs to perhaps snap into holes on the fence bottom. Since two of my holes are larger and filled with allen screws, I put a message to SS engineering to see how the part is suppose to fit. I'll post the answer. The dang part is less than four...
