I bought my jointer when Grizzly closed some of the 8 inchers out a few months back.  I set it up right away, but didn’t have it running for two months because I had to set up a 220v outlet (which many of you helped walk me through).  When I first set it up, I check the table alignment and all was good.  Last night, after I changed the blades (I decided that I really don’t enjoy this process), I was putting the fence back on and noticed that the fence sat on the table at a skew to the blade.  The fence tapers in at least a quarter of an inch and I didnt see any obvious adjustments to correct this alignment.  Heck, I even considered that this may be intentional.  Not sure how I missed this before, but after thinking about it, I realized that the only thing that this does is bring the stock at skew to the blades which probably is not a bad thing.  I also put my strait edge to the fence and found the fence to have about a 32nd of an inch dip in the middle.  Although this isn’t the end of the world in most jointer operations, it seems a bit excessive. 

I guess I would just like to hear what most of you would do in this situation.  It’s nothing I can’t live with, but I figured I doesn’t hurt to throw it out there.
