Folks, I'm about at the end of my rope with my jointer. I've had this issue for years and can't seem to resolve it. I try, it doesn't work, and I let it sit unused for a few months until I try again. Rinse and repeat.
As you can see from the photo, one of the ends of the board keeps getting narrower and narrower as I feed it through the jointer. Which, I guess, would be fine if it meant my board was nice and flat but it's not.
I've tried following the instructions to recalibrate everything. I have followed katz-Moses YouTube tutorial plus lots more, I have read up here on reddit and innumerable Internet searches.
What gives??
EDIT: Thanks for your responses. I need to clarify: I absolutely know the difference between a planer and jointer. I've been using both for 6 years. (Although I haven't used my jointer because, per my gripe, it never works as a jointer should.)
My complaint is that it ISN'T making a flat face. Instead, it's eating away the board until it's like a huge shim. If I keep going, it just keep eating way one end until it's extremely thin. On top of that it's still not flat.
