Kent introduces himself and Shawn, an engineer at Grizzly, and explains that they will demonstrate how to check and correct any table parallelism problems with a dovetail-style jointer, specifically using the Grizzly G0654 6-inch dovetail-style jointer. He emphasizes the importance of following safety procedures and using the video in conjunction with the written instructions provided with the jointer. Kent explains that the procedure involves using a straight edge and feeler gauges to measure parallelism between the cutter head and the infeed table, as well as between the infeed and outfeed tables. He provides detailed instructions for shimming between the bearing blocks and the mount to correct any parallelism issues with the cutter head and infeed table. Additionally, he explains how to adjust the outfeed table by shimming between the dovetails and the base casting. Kent concludes by emphasizing the importance of proper alignment for accurate woodworking and encourages viewers to make adjustments and start working on their projects.
