Neil,?
The two adjustments you mention only move the assembly complete as it is already set.
The first pic moves the whole table up and down, the second only moves the table in and out in reference to cutting circle .?
You need to study this drawing and get into the assemblies.
In the upper right corner this is what you have to wrap your head around 6 and 12 the round Shafts
As you change the position of the rods it changes the position of the angle and also the position of the table to raise and lower.
In the lower right hand corner you can see the octagon shafts you need to complement the adjustment you make on the hinge assemble so the tables aren't skewed.?
The adjustments are a pain in the ass not easy or fun! But can be done,,, always do a little at a time.
Get the hinge side co plane with outfeed table first.

Hi Mac,?
the attached photo shows the infeed table height adjustment. (just learning, do attachments work in this forum?)?
The table is in the flipped up position. Bottom left corner is the octagonal table rest. Have adjusted that, it helped a bit.?
Black plastic covers in the lower center expose four bolt heads total, which thread straight into the inclined lift/lower mechanism. Is it tuning these bolts that you are suggesting??
Also, notice the four bolts on the underside of the table? I could open and adjust these, but doesn't look like it would move it. The shape of the mating faces dictates that each of them would just center itself when tight (I think). Here's a closeup of that:
Any further thoughts in this would be very much appreciated. (or does anyone have any instructions from Felder?)?
Thanks,
Neil
Thanks Mac, Here is a picture if it helps to refresh your memory:
This is at the outfeed end, but infeed is pretty much the same, just mirrored.?
Thanks,
Neil

Done this more than a few times.
The question is do I remember.
The table runs on 4 inclined ways. There is a squeeze bolt needs to be loosened.
Know I forget how the assembly is raised I will have to look at a drawing and get back with you,?
Pretty sure it will be obvious. ?
Just do little at a time there is an octagon bar on the operators side that also my needs to be adjusted the assembly base to meet perfect or when you tighten it it will throw your adjustment out this is adjusted with jack screws over and under the chassis.?

Hi, brand new on the forum here, excuse me if I'm not using it properly.
Looking for a bit of help as my manual seems to be mostly silent on the issue of making adjustments to the jointer tables. My infeed table seems to not be parallel with my outfeed (not co-planar). A straightedge flat on the outfeed reveals an 1/8 gap at the far end of the infeed (and vice versa). I'm getting concave boards!
Anyone have experience solving this on the BF 6-31? I assume it is some adjustments to the hinge and latch mechanisms, but not wanting to monkey with it till I know I'm not throwing anything else out of whack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Neil
