Comments:

I found this jointer in the basement with a band saw I purchased out of the estate of a cabinet maker in South Jersey. Just about have it up and running. There is an adjustable fence that adjusts in two directions. When I tighten it with hand force, I can stop the adjustment of the upper barrel, but not quite (yet!) of the lower barrel (so I can't set the fence at 90 degrees.)

Any suggestions?
