I think I've lost the ball in the past two weeks.
I have a 5" benchtop jointer with helical cutters and it's worked great for what I've needed. Haven't used it in a couple weeks and something has happened to me. I can't seem to plane a flat joint.
I run the piece through the jointer for many passes and the "front" part of the piece gets planed down thinner than the back. This current piece is now 41mm thick on the forward end and 43mm on the rear end. I feel like I'm giving pressure on the front and then keeping it on after it passes the cutting head, but obviously I'm doing something very wrong.
Any thoughts on what I may have started doing incorrectly? Or could there have been something that i did the jointer to change it and create this issue?
Thanks!
