I feel its nearly impossible if I tried jointing face or edge with the depth at more then 1/4... If I put the depth to 1/2, as soon as the wood touched the blade, I feel it'd stop and jam.
I have mine set at about 3/32nds ever since I bought it. More passes, but better surface.

You might also check and see if there is a woodworking club near you. Yearly dues are usually not very much and besides getting access to the machines you'll also get access to a lot of help.
