Fantastic video. I was feeling hopeless about my jointers parallelism, but you just changed all of that.
Great to hear the video was able to help. Thanks for your support!
A really excellent and super useful video! Thanks for taking the time to make and share this! It's really increased my opinion of Grizzly, their products, and their personnel.
I was getting snipe on the end of my board with machine setup as it came from the factory. I just did this method on my 8" Griz jointer and it worked like a charm. Used a starret straight edge, bought 3 feeler gauges 1 to use and 2 to use as shims. I shimmed everything to better than .0015. I jointed a board and it's smooth as glass!
Tyson Harris hey
Great video. Sometimes you just have to shim the infeed table as there is only so much you can adjust outfeed
This was a great video and a great public service! Thanks!
These guys have a little bit of a Penn and Teller thing going on.
came for this comment
gib screws are in the maintenance section. to me awhile to realize "read the entire manual" included maintenance.
Have you tried the updog yet?
What is maximum amount one should shim the cutterhead? I need .016. Exactly where do you put the cutterhead shim and how to keep it from moving? I put one piece of feeler gauge at bottom, beside retaining bolt. Is that correct? I've read where some use a piece on each side of bolt. Which is best?
Any advice of where to find multiple pieces of .005" metallic shim stock?
K&S hobby brass has 300mm x20mm strip in various thicknesses. Metal would probably last longer but the brass stuff will be easier to find.
@@aussiefarmer8741thank!
I ended up buying a new jointer but still keep this in mind when the day comes that i need to re adjust the ways on the new one.
So when your measuring the cutterhead off the infeed. At what height should the infeed be set? I have mine set at 0 on depth of cut and have over 1/8 of gap to cutter head
I have same question, did you ever figure this out?
yes he didn't say that in video. you lower the infeed until one side of cutter head touches the straight edge(you will pass 0). it can be left or right side if you have error on left or right and if you don't have a error they touches the straight edge at same level.
i would like to buy the Grizzly G0725 portable planer i would like to know if the knifes would beable to be sharpened since they are adjusted with jack screws
ok thank you
Did grizzly build the craftsman professional 6 1/8 jointer? It looks identical to this. Except color.
my suspicion is that Grizzly (and others) pay a licensing fee to use the castings at the various factories in Asia. look at the 20” planer.. you’ll see that shape used in half a dozen brands.
I watched the wood whisperer #118 jointer set up on TH-cam and his jointer had adjustment screws and no shims were required. Will Grizzly be adding this feature in the future to their jointers?
+James McIntyre That was a different type of jointer. Grizzly has jointers with Parallelogram beds in edition to the dovetail style.
I have a smarter suggestion based on hard won experience. Never buy a wedge bed Jointer, EVER. They are a fundamentally flawed concept from the start. Just because it has dovetailed slides does not make it accurate, especially when the castings are not seasoned/stress relieved before machining.
I have dialled in many machines over the years but these things are a total waste of time. If they are warped your Screwed. Grizzly machines were crap when they first came out well over twenty years ago now. I refused to use them in any shop I worked in. Somehow I doubt its any different now.
If you must buy some crap machine from Taiwan at least get the parallelogram type jointer. Good luck, your gonna need it.
100% correct. 👆🏻
