@s44577 Ok, you asked for it-you’re getting it! I’m going to make plans for the boards. Which board would you like to have the most? I’ll start with that one!
Insane! First time seeing someone putting end grain through a jointer/thicknesser with confidence. Is this something that is only possible on a helical cutter?
@redgontheedge You are absolutely right! With a helical cutter, it’s definitely better, but it’s still not the optimum method. The best machine for this job is a drum sander. Unfortunately, I don’t have one yet, but I’m planning to get one this year. I follow these tips, and they’ve worked perfectly for me so far: • Make the board at least one inch longer to avoid tear-out at the ends. • Add a small chamfer to the ends of the board to further reduce the risk of tear-out. • Take very light passes, no more than 0.1 mm at a time, to minimize stress on the wood. I’ll be happy if I could help! Let me know if you have any more questions!
@redgontheedge I know exactly what you mean. Using a router bit felt like a lifelong process, and sanding down those strips took forever. That’s why I decided not to use a router anymore. If it works only with a helical cutter, I’m not entirely sure. You could give it a try, but make sure to take off as little as possible at a time-try 0.1 mm passes. If it goes wrong, you can always switch back to the router. Let me know if it works with a normal cutter; I’d really love to know this information!
Another stunner. If you make and sell plans for these boards you're doing, I will be a loyal customer 😁

@@stammherz Wonderful. I'm in! Gosh, hard to choose, but that purpleheart stunner--ALL of them are great though---no bad choices 👌
