Wear on joiner blades

Hi, Keith. Yes, occasionally move the jointer fence to distribute wear
more evenly when edge jointing. You'd probably get a "truer" 90 if you
face joint first, then edge joint. It puts a larger registering surface
onto the jointer fence. Tom

Yes, keep moving the fence so that all areas of the blades get a chance of
equal wear. I also shift the blades a little bit every now and then.

I'm constantly moving the fence around just to avoid what you are
experiencing.....and to avoid that little nick in the blade that always
seems to appear just after sharpening.
