Re: A3-31 setup and calibration

Hi Richard?
I first tighten them by hand about 5 degrees out (higher) w.r.t. where I want them to finish. After that I tighten them with a normal size wrench to a moderate force.?
I determined the amount I put them too high before tighting by obsering the rotation while tighting. So i guess it is a balancing act.
Note that these definetly don't need that much force as they are a pretty large thread size with near to no lateral or rotational forces on them.
Regards
Just when I thought I was done, I find myself struggling to get this right. I seem to get things aligned within .003-.005¡± between the infeed and outfeed tables. So I¡¯ll joint something then plane it, and when I return the infeed and outfeed tables down, one of them is sitting lower. It is very clearly the bolts at the front that are too low, but it is inconsistent between infeed and outfeed and they seem to be fine before I raise the tables for planing.
is this just a case of not tightening the nuts sufficiently? I try not to lay into them too much because that tends to throw things out of alignment as well.
