Mark, again let me thank you for taking the time to help me. You are correct...by "raising" the fence, clearance from the motor housing is achieved and you have solved my problem. Thanks for your help. Joel
I put a thin line of glue at the center across so when it's squeezed it wont have over glue and then do scraping it, this way I will not ruin my staining. if I have over running glue I use a hot towel and clean it while is soft and avoid the sanding glue :)
Joe, I just went down and took another look at my biscuit joiner. If the fence is fully retracted, you are correct that the motor housing will make early contact with the handle on the fence, thus preventing full insertion of the cutter. I think you can solve the problem by simply fully extending the fence. That moves the handle out of the way.
Mark, thank you so much for responding, but I don't think I understand your solution. If you would refer to 2:12 thru 2:23 of your video ("cutting into the broad service"), wouldn't extending the fence fully prohibit you you from positioning the tool as shown? Again, thanking you for your response. Joel
Sorry, Joe! Just saw this. When you have the jointer positioned for a downward cut into a broad board surface, the fence becomes a temporary base. In this situation, "raising" the fence is actually a horizontal movement which moves the fence handle sideways and out of the way of the motor housing. The only thing that would prevent such an adjustment would be tight quarters on the board. Even then, if you turn the jointer 180 degrees, thus turning the fence away from the obstruction, you should be able to make the cut. Does this make sense?
Mark, enjoyed your video very much. I have the same model joiner and find that when I hold the tool in the vertical position the handle prevents the cutter from extending into the wood. You show the tool in the vertical position, but did not show a cut. Can you make the cut with your machine? Thanks, Joel
*Thanks Mark :)*

Yes, Carl! Too much glue. Live & learn.

Thanks Mark. Looking forward to your response.

You have me curious, Joe. I'll look into it and get back to you.
