I was playing with my 850 today. Because of this revived old thread I thought Id give jointing with 850 another shot. I talked to Don Ware at Anderson about how to eliminate snipe. He told me and it reminded me of a old trick I used a long time ago, set the board on end clamp a couple pieces of sacrificial wood to each end and plane it. I did use the accessory fence which I highly recommend .
Because of this thread and since I bought my planer used (a long time ago but used) I thought about the adjustment so the blade will be set at zero and even with the base. I went to Vegas earlier this week and as my way I stop by and harass Steve a bit while Im there. To my surprise Alan was there. He said he is now a trainer there helping Steve out. Steve was runing some dealer training so Alan and I had a chat. I asked him about the adj and he explained to me how to adj it. So I checked mine and sure enough it was out of adj as the blade was touching my test piece of wood at zero. I adjusted it and then edge jointed a piece of 4ft long 3/4 birch I had lying around and it did a bang up job. I set the blade debth at .2mm. I checked the jointed edge with my small 2" WP square ad the joint was dead nuts on.
Hope ths helps anyone who is thinking about doing the same thing I did.
