   1/16" is probably a little too much for most 6" jointers when face jointing (you said "flat" so I jumped to conculsion you're speaking of face jointing).  I'm no expert, but usually keep it to 1/32" for face jointing. 

   Here are some questions for you.  Answers will help us help you:

   • Have you carefully tuned up the jointer?
   • Are you having problems with both face jointing and edge jointing?
   • What type of imperfections in the wood are you staring with?  (Is it cupped, twisted, crooked?)

   Also you might try cleaning the cast iron beds with something like denatured alcohol and applying a good coat of wax.  Should make the boards slide much easier.
