Jointing on a Router Table

- Join George Vondriska on Thursday, February 22nd at 11:00 a.m. CT for a FREE LIVE event! If you own a router table, you own a jointer. You can easily create a smooth, square and straight edge on your router table once you make a few modifications to it. George will show you a shop-made fence you can use for this process, and how commercially made fences can be used. He'll also talk about router bit selection, set up and why, even if you own a jointer, you should learn how to do this. If you're looking for a good jointing bit, check out this one here: amzn.to/49h2Nw7

Beautiful day in the great state of Michigan.
Thank you for another interesting video. For wood with difficult grain, to better avoid splintering the edges, I would suggest using a "compression" bit in your router, in this joining application. A compression bit combines both an up-spiral at the bottom and a down-spiral at the top, which work together to push the edges toward the center during the cut, in compression, hence the name.
Tuning in
here in london the weather has been crap today. cold, wet, windy - YUK!
Yuk
Nice demonstration! I think you missed a point on technique, however. It is important on both a jointer or jointing on a router table to focus pressure on the outfeed side of the cutter and not the infeed, if you want to maintain (or create) a straight edge. If you have a curvy board and you focus pressure on the infeed side, it will remain curvy as you'll just be following the existing edge and not referencing off the freshly cut straight edge.
Excellent presentation, tnx...if we are running a carbide spiral (up cut, down cut, or compression cut) bit, is it not making a continuois cut, not the seperate cuts as on a two blade bit?(David)
