OK now no one laugh but I just unpacked a new Delta planer. This is the smallest and cheapest one they make, 6" "ShopMaster". I am going to be using it to finish some SYP 2" x 12" that I am ripping to make the bench top and base for my workbench.
Now to my question. I tried it on a 2x4 stud on edge and one face. It works. I have checked the squareness of the fence to the table and found it to be spot on with the infeed table but not with the outfeed table. Then I saw that the fence appears to be square but the outfeed table is not even in alignment with the infeed table. There are four screws in the surface of the outfeed table. I am assuming I can loosen them and then adjust this table to both the infeed table and the fence. Does anybody have any experience with this planer or one close to it that could lend some advice?
The manual only discuses readjusting the fence but that is not the problem here.
