The table is made parallel to a plane defined by the two tie rods by singly adjusting the jack screws and syncing them with the chain(four [almost] corners).
Adjusting the blade height to the cutter head should then create boards correctly(even thickness).
Did you get the blade height setting gauge? If not, get one!

Re: Used SS Pro Planer
No gauge or manual, just the machine. I'll be ordering the gauge directly. Just ordered some blades last week, didn't know about no stinkin' planer :-)

The evenness of cut across the table is a function of the jack screws being the same(table corner heights) and the cutter blades.
All is adjustable!
I downloaded a manual, haven't read thru it yet though. Hopefully there is something on this adjustment, or a post on the forum somewhere. Thanks for all the good advice. :-)
Check this video out and it might be of some help getting oriented. Nick Engler did this and it covers a good bit.
