1) from that past thread on adjusting Jointer knives and jointers.
My new DIMAR jointer knives arrived this week and I installed them yesterday...also went back and rechecked the outfeed table adj.. It was racked up to the top of the bed so I dropped it down a 1/16" and worked everything back from that. Works like a dream now! Finish like a baby's bottom, and dead straight finished cuts. Thanks to all you guys that contributed to that thread.
2) I couldn't wait till I got the DC properly plumbed with pipe, so I closed in the bottom of my Delta Contractor saw, with a 14" TS dust collector ftg. Hooked that puppy up to the DC and ran another run of 4" spiral plastic hose (about a 10' length) alternating between the jointer and the planer as needed. Works well; way better than I was expecting for a 1HP DC.
It's supposed to rain pretty much for the next week so I won't feel guilty spending time in the shop, instead of working on SWMBO's Honey Do list.
