   Typically there are some locking collars to hold the adjustment screw in place. Removing that should allow the screw to come out and slide the table down the ways.

   Thanks for your quick response Rick.  How do I get at the locking collar when I presume it is inside the cast iron base?  I have never done this before.  thanks for any help. Chuck23

   The locking collar is on the other side of the tab that is secured to the base so it's accessible from near the handle. Without pictures and being there it's hard to expalain in words. It should be fairly obvious if you look in there. Have you looked at your parts brakdown?  That should give some insight to what's what. This is a dovetailed jointer, not a parallelgram one?  The parallelogram is a much more complcated one to take apart. That the one...remember in asking for help always give more info than necessary. Never assume that you have given enough info. Most people don't.
