Do not force the jointer

The jointer was recently modified to prevent cuts deeper than 1/16". This reduces wear on the carbides, keeping them sharp, longer. It also reduces wear on other parts of the jointer.

Apparently, someone has been trying to force the jointer for deeper cuts. This can damage the trunnions. Do NOT force the wheel, when adjusting the jointer. 1/16 is all that is needed. A few more passes on a working jointer is much better than no jointer.

Thanks
