Should I saw 4" off of my jointer's legs?
In doing some shop reorganization, I'm debating doing just this in order to get my open-base 6" jointer (an old Delta 37-190) below my tablesaw surface. Then it can sit right next to it and not be in the way of cuts on wide material. This would put the jointer bed at around 29" off the floor (and the top of the fence, which is really what is in the way, about 34"). Too low?
Anybody else with a "low" jointer bed height or who has lowered theirs by permanently modifying good Delta iron?
