I have a Ridgid jointer that is not 'perfect'. But I am wondering if it is actually good enough and I shouldn't messed with it. When the fence is set to 90 degrees, it is dead on with the infeed table. There is a 0.005 gap at the bottom of the fence using my machine square when checking the outfeed side. The only straight edge I have that could be used as a true straight edge is the 12" blade of my PEC comination square. Resting 2" of the blade on the infeed table, the outfeed gradually drops off 0.008 over the last 10" of the blade on the outfeed table. At first I was going to figure out how to adjust it if possible and then I thought, close enough, leave it alone. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Also, what is the purpose of the rear adjusment hand weel? Nowhere in the manual does it state the use of that wheel. The only reference, is it being labeled in one of the diagrams.
