Rikon 25-210H Followup Review and Tuneup

After almost two years of ownership I do a follow review on my Rikon 25-210H as well as take you through some of the steps in calibrating the outfeed and infeed tables. As the Jet JJP-12HH is the same base machine as the Rikon the information in this video will be useful to people interested in that tool as well. Over time the outfeed table on the jointer worked its way out of adjustment, gradually creeping its way close to the cutterhead. I found out about this one day by the one cutter slamming into the table when I turned on the machine. So I was able to move the table back out of the way by turning its parallel arms but over time the table moved around more and more. Looking at the Jet’s version of this machine (JJP-12HH), I saw that the outfeed adjustment arm also serves to lock it in place against the front cover. So I ordered the three parts from eReplacementParts.com that would give me that: Adjusting Handle (JJP12-014) Knob (JJP12-015) Bracket Screw (JJP12-016) When the parts arrived I decided to start from scratch on tuning up both jointer tables, loosening the hinge adjustment screws thus throwing away the factory adjustment plus the work I had done. I wasn’t very confident in how aligned the tables were so I wasn’t losing much. For more information on my process check out my writeup on the topic: https://tracezero.net/2017/01/12/hitt... I have my process typed out and it's likely a lot easier to follow than trying to understand my ramblings!
