What a pain. Mine is a Performax Plus-had partial mods built in for the accessory tables. Got many small sheet metal cuts and lousy hardware-nuts were neither metric nor imperial-just cheap. How close have you gotten yours? I gave up at 1/64th" out of perfect plane from the conveyor-I was going crazy-at least I got consistency in the error-same for I & O. I have some second class tops and figured I would learn to thickness with them. I've barely used the unit and I think the after-purchased I/O tables were in their box for a year.--mt |

Mines a Jet. Difference between the ends of the rollers is between .005" and .010" if I put the wood (tops and bottoms) through 2 or 3 times at the same setting. Edit: oops, misread the question. I don't use the infeed/outfeed tables. |

The I/O tables on my Jet 10/20 Plus are actually a little bit lower than the conveyor. When they were closer to the same exact plane, the conveyor didn't feed work straight into the drum. I couldn't tell you exactly how much lower the tables are, I set them by eyeball and feed action. HTH, Chris. |

You don't need the tables for anything used in lutherie. Pieces are too short, and too light. |

Interesting, Laurent. I bought the accessory tables after having some snipe problems on hardwood billets being thicknessed for the infill of handmade miter box planes I used to make. The billets were often 2 1/2 inches "plus" thick and sometimes a foot long. It is good to know that I will have somewhat less tendency toward that with more typical thicknesses for guitars. I had not planned upon using the Jet to square neck blanks-I prefer my old Bedrock 606 for such tasks. I run the thick stuff on a Shopsmith accessory 4" jointer and finish by hand.mt |

I use the 10-20 for thicknessing everything, including 1/2 neck blanks over 24" long for laminated necks and 32" trays for making purf lines. I found that you get the snipe at the ends only if you try to sand too agressively. Light passes with 24 or 36 grit are great to remove a lot of stock quickly, and I switch to 80 for the final passes. |
