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!

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.
