I fully understand your thoughts about David Best, the guy is a Walking Institution! ?
Which cutter set up are you running? ?You mentioned your outfeed table is now 001¡±-.002¡± below the cutter knives, just wondering if your running straight knives. ?I also saw a different measurement for setting the outfeed table to the cutting block, which is different from setting to knives. ?See attached pictures. ?But I¡¯m wondering if this cutter block dimension is also true for someone that is running the Silent Power spiral knife cutting block set up?

?I think the hammer/mallet blow was in regards to lowering the outfeed table. My outfeed table as-received was quite a bit above the cutterhead knives. I loosened the height adjustment bolt, but that alone will not lower the outfeed table. For me, even striking with a mallet did nothing, and even putting 210# of free weights on the outfeed table overnight didn't lower it completely. I literally had to jump on the outfeed table directly over the supports to lower it even a few thousandths. Thankfully, I now have the outfeed table completely level/parallel with the cutterhead and between 0.001" and 0.002" below the cutterhead knives. If you want me to elaborate any more on that procedure, I can do that. I have corresponded with David Best as well, and he is top-notch in his support, his documentation, and of course his knowledge and experience. I wouldn't be as far along as I am without him.
