Carl, glad you came up with a solution. I think my suggestion should have been more directed to Enrico.

The precision we can expect from "home workshop" tooling is much less than an industrial tool might give. Two tenths of a millimetre is less than 8 thousandths of an inch. I would be very happy with that kind of accuracy with the woodworking tools I have. If it is truly a problem then a "work around" might be to leave the board 4 inches longer and cut off the the first and last two inches after thicknessing it.

I was away for a while. I thank you a lot for your help guys. I’ll try adjusting the pressure rollers and see what happens. Thanks

If you have the Jet manual, checkout pages 19-20. It talks about this very issue. Here's a link to the manual if you need it, http://content.jettools.com/assets/manu ... man_EN.pdf.

You’re right I missed it. I was probably discouraged by reading all these English technical terms. I think I will have to spend some time and read the instructions accurately. There is a lot of information that I miss for sure. Thanks for taking the time to look into it
