I bought a Oneway Multi Gauge, dial indicator, to precisely set the height of my planer knives.
Have a Metabo HC260 planer/thicknesser with aluminium tables. When using the dial indicator I do not get a uniform reading across the width of the outfeed table.
I have a discrepancy of 001 inch from one side to the other. Am using a Veritas precision straightedge checking the width of the tables, and diagonally across both. I can see very minute gaps, less than paper thin.
Should I be thinking of a surface grind for both tables?
Cheers
