In this week’s video, I’ll show you how to joint long boards on the table saw, using a factory edge. I take a piece of factory made trim board, with a perfectly square edge, and I attach it to one edge of my rough board. Using that trim as a guide edge, I run it along the table saw fence to joint the opposite edge of the board. This method works beautifully and in my opinion, is more effective than a bench top jointer.

Thanks for explaining not only how to do this, but why you choose to do this on the table saw in this case. This is great coming from someone who has shown us how to make a benchtop jointer from an electric hand planer. There are always many ways to accomplish a woodworking task, I really appreciate it when experienced woodworkers take the time to explain why they choose to do things a certain way in particular situations. Loved the sped up "But Eric, why not use a benchtop jointer" segment. LMAO!
Eric I have enjoyed your channel for sometime now. Really appreciate your small shop solutions
Thanks James! Cheers🙂
Nice! Never thought to joint my boards on the table saw using a brad nailer.. I will have to try this!
This will be faster than using my router with a straight template, and as you said cleaner. Thanks ill give this a try
Really great tip, Eric! 😃
Thanks a lot!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Well done good advice.
Great project. Good point about using a router for this. I’m thinking of building a jointer jig for the bandsaw.
Thanks Eric, I was contemplating a bench top jointer for my small shop, but alternatives like this and the limitations on the small jointer didn't make it worth it. I'm holding out until we retire in BC and I build my 'dream shop' where I have room for a proper jointer after I save my loonies.
Good Choice Jeff! Yes, when I first learned woodworking, I got spoiled by the big green machines. I almost bought a bench top jointer a few times but then I realize it won't make things any easier. Cheers 🙂
Thx for the tips sir, just getting into woodworking myself and recently bought a table saw. So do those brad nail holes just get sliced off when you turn the board around to join the other side, or how to you hide them? would a pin nailer work as well? Thanks
Get yourself a good set of pliers and they pull out quite easily. Nails on the ends are likely in the off-cut zone, so those holes are negligible. The only hole you will have to fill is the one in the middle of the board and it's so tiny, once you fill it, it's invisible. A pin nailer should work as well but you may need more than 3 nails.
@@EricSorensenCanada thanks for the reply! appreciate it
Nice tip!
Question. The fence on your table saw. Is that factory or a third party one? Thanks!
It's the factory fence.
Very nice...but how do you handle the faces, if you need to?
All the boards have been through the thickness planer prior to jointing on the table saw.
Thanks Eric. Questions about your table saw blade: are you using the "factory blade" that came with the saw (which I assume is the 24 inch tooth blade)? Compared to the 71/4 inch blades you previously used, how much more dust (if any) does the 8/1/4 inch blade produce? Do you switch out to a blade with a higher tooth count to do a crosscut? Thanks!
Yes, I'm using the framing blade that came with it. Its about the same as the 7-1/4" Dewalt blades I've bought in the past. The dust for the 8-1/4" is negligible. When I change the blade I will try a 7-1/4" first to see if it will work, because I have a few new ones on hand. I can usually buy them in 3 packs for much less than the 8-1/4"blades. The test will be using it with the riving knife - it should be the same thickness.
