So between this group and some great threads on Sawmill Creek finally got my A341 dialed in. I really feel like I’ve gotten to know the machine absolutely inside and out. But after all this fiddling around, it makes me wonder am I best served not keeping the Jointer tables not locked down when not use? For example when my band saw is not in use I always release the tension on the wheels. J/P units have tension on their beds by design so I’m just kind of wondering.?

?

Hi, mine has been left in either jointer or planer mode for the last 14 years depending upon which operation I did last.

I’ve never seen a bandsaw detensioned in 45 years in industry, and I don’t detension the valve springs on my motorcycle and one of them is 94 years old.
