    Im glad that I watched this. I have a relatively new jointer and I now see that I was putting pressure on the infeed side.....tapered board, drove me nuts. Tried a few passes using your instructions...VICTORY!!!! Flat surface..ready for the thickness planer. I use a lot of home dried wood (maple and walnut) for turning, so a precise glue line is important to a quality finish...aka, no visible glue line. Thanks for posting this. Putting your vids in my fav folder.

    Hi Kenny and everyone. I am a probie and think your video is extremely useful. Thank you so much. I am sorry that the video had about 0.006759% negative feedback. Well, the last time i checked, 99.993241% is ...pretty damn impressive (not just in woodworking, but in everything else in life). To me, if the video gives me information that I didn't know, i will take the info and be thankful. If the video gives me information that confirms things I already know, I will be thankful because it is actually a "gain" for me as well. Please continue to make more videos like this one.

    Excellent and sound advice for anyone with a planer, planer/thicknesser. I know when wearing ear protection it is quite difficult to hear subtle changes as the timber passes over the blades, but with experience you can hear the blades missing the timber if it has a bow in it, if your technique is correct.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  8 років тому

      Definitely. Sound is a big part of using any power tool and with experience, those sounds will become a natural thing for you to listen to for obtaining good results. Thanks for the extra input. Great point!!!

    I have heard that for face jointing long boards the purpose of the jointer is different.
    For long board, the purpose of the jointer to face joint is to establish enough high points on one face so that the board does not rock with going thru a thickness planer. The planer actually does the planing for BOTH sides; the jointer is just the preliminary for the faces.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  6 років тому

      I have to say, that I'm not really in agreement with your statement here. Although preventing the stock from rocking is a method to use when you wish to use your thickness planer as a jointer, I truthfully don't think that it is the jointer's purpose to accomplish this. It is an interesting concept though and if it works for you and your shop, then that's great. Thanks for chiming in on the show and providing us with your theories. It's appreciated.

  • @baolong0430
    @baolong0430 8 років тому

    Good morning Kenny. I just bought a small used Delta bench top jointer last week and that was the first time I ever operate a jointer. As expected for the first time user, the result was far from perfect. I followed your instruction and the result was 100 times better. I will keep practicing until it is perfect. I have a couple questions for you. How do we know it is time for a new blade? Can the blade be sharpened? Thank you much!

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  8 років тому

      Glad to hear that you enjoyed the show and that it was useful to you. The blades should be cutting the wood with no effort what so ever. If there is any burning of the stock, chances are it is time to hone your blades. You can hone (sharpen) jointer blades. It is a special stone that is used to hone the edge and you should be careful to hone each blade equally. For example, if you drag the stone across one blade 10 times, you must do the exact same thing to all other blades. If you google "jointer honing stone" you will be able to see that stone type that I am talking about.

    Hi Kenny I have had to pack up work due to ill health but I needed something to keep my brain cells working I always loved woodwork so I bought myself a nice big shed and a load of tools one of these tools is a jointer/planner combi but having trouble getting the jointer set up what I mean is getting square faces your video is so good mate any advice by you and any other woodworkers would be a big help thank you so much atb Barry

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  6 років тому

      I guess my first question Barry would be what results are you getting when you are trying to joint the boards. The first step in figuring out the problem is knowing what the problem is.

  • @robwhite3044
    @robwhite3044 9 років тому

    I finally got my table co-plane,,,, perfecto! So I was a happy guy to say the least. I will confess: taking apart the jointer, removing the infeed table to have it machined to half of 1/1000, (it was off by 35/1000) and then reassembling the entire machine,, "all by myself" was a challenge to say the lest. My lack of patience only adds to my problems. Ive got my fence tuned right in at 90* to the table but for some reason after planning the face then the side of a 2" X 4" X 5', the corner is NOT exactly 90*. The head scratching starts! Could this be due to one of my knives being too high? Any advice? thanks a lot.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  9 років тому +1

      I would be double checking that the infeed and the outfeed tables are both square to the fence. I would also be careful not to be placing too much pressure on the fence while feeding the stock. Some fences can shift a little bit if you apply too much pressure. This is not the case with mine, but it may be with yours. Also, as you stated, I would make sure that all blades are parallel to the infeed and outfeed tables. It only takes one blade to be out of alignment to change the square of the stock. Glad to hear that you got the table coplanar. That's some serious dedication to go the extra mile of milling rather than just shimming. Good for you Rob.

  • @woodensurfer
    @woodensurfer 6 років тому

    What if the board is three times as long as the infeed table, and the curvature of the concave is greater than the depth of cut?
    For long and much concaved board, other considerations must be taken.
    For this type of board, I joint the convex side. I use a straight edge (extruded AL) to ID the most convex part and remove that part first.
    I find final jointing with greater depth a way to overcome these problem after removing the worse convex part. If the dept of cut is great enough, the board with hug the outfeed table thru-out without the board even touching the infeed table half way of the cut or sooner .

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  6 років тому

      If this method works for you, then that's fantastic. This video was intended to assist those who were having issues with their jointer producing surfaces that were not flat. It wasn't meant to cover all aspects of jointing for sure. Thanks for the input on your method of choice when using the jointer. I'm sure that it will be useful to some of the viewers.

  • @larrybrassard6914
    @larrybrassard6914 8 років тому

    Great vid I am having an issue when face planning it is coming out slanted. I was putting down pressure on both the infeed and outfeed table. I will try to just do it on the outfeed and see if that helps. What is the digital box you used to check for square?

    Good video. Can you still use the jointer for very long boards? It seems like a board longer than the surface area of the jointer could still tend to move and not give you a perfectly flat edge. I am working to join two 96" boards. I tried use a Track Saw but I am still not happy with the results.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  7 років тому

      You can use a jointer for longer boards. Depending on how long the board is, you may need extra support on the out-feed side of the jointer that is the exact same height as the existing out-feed table. For the most part though, the flat surfaces of the board well eventually get longer and support the board enough that the jointing can continue. If you have already used a track saw, this would provide a pretty straight edge on its own and the jointer could just finish off this edge and fine tune it so to speak. I hope this has helped you out Robert and thanks for tuning in to the show.

    Great video, thanks for the tips! I realize I'm a little late in commenting so hopefully you still see this. I have had my grizzly 8" jointer for several weeks and am getting used to it. I am having problems jointing the face of a long board (72"). After watching this video I think I need to put more pressure on the outfeed table. But the problem I'm having is that the 72" x 7" x 1" board does not stay down on the spiral cutter head evenly and creates ridges across the width of the board. Any tips on jointing the face of a long board?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  7 років тому +2

      Ryan Garritson An auxiliary outfeed table with rollers to help support the longer boards is very helpful. They will allow you to concentrate on placing the downward pressure on the stock instead of trying to hold the stock down. Also, if you are getting ridges across the width of the board, you may be feeding your stock too quickly. Slow down your feed and let the cutters do their job. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

    Great video, but I have one question. How would you do it with long board on smaller jointer, how would you distribute pressure on outfeed table then and how would you support parts of the board that aren't on jointer?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  5 років тому +1

      Thanks for the kind words on the show Kenan. When using a smaller jointer, it is possible to do larger boards. You would need something to support your stock at the in-feed and out-feed side of your jointer. Something like a roller support. It has to be set at the same height as the table that it is placed at. So the in-feed support has to be the exact same height as the in-feed table and the out-feed support has to be the exact same height as the out-feed table. Basically, by adding roller supports, you are extending you jointer bed. Another method is to install your jointer in such a way that you can build in-feed and out-feed tables out of wood that will extend the jointer beds. This is a little more extreme but works well. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.

    This is great, but 2 foot boards aren't too hard. What about 14 foot boards on a relatively short bed jointer? That is where I'm having issue.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  7 років тому +1

      The two foot board was simply for demonstration purposes only. I have had issues with longer boards as well. The problem is that if you have your board set properly (concave side facing the jointer bed) then the leading edge of the board falls off the planer bed before the back end can register against the blades and this causes serious issues. I have been able to combat this with an auxiliary outfeed table that is the exact height as the outfeed table of the jointer. This gives the extra support needed to work on the piece. I have also (while it is not exactly the best method) ran the board into the jointer blades until it no longer makes contact. Then I rotate the board end on end and plane the opposite end of the board; running it into the blade until it no longer makes contact. I continue this process which lengthens the amount of stock that is contacting the jointer bed on each end of the board and it lessens the length of the void in the middle which is not contacting the bed. What this does, is eventually it give enough flat surface at either end to be able to run the board normally through the jointer and maintain enough contact to allow the outfeed table to do it job and support the piece. I have only used this method on longer, very problematic boards but I have had some success with it. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in

    Awesome video, thank you. I'm curious about a few things you may be able to help me with, and may make good videos for others as well. I am very new to using a jointer and am using a fairly small machine. A lot of my boards are pretty long, and I find myself having to move my body and reposition my arms and grip frequently. Is there a good way of doing long boards or are there good tools for doing this? I also would like to use the jointer on 1 inch by 1 inch pieces of wood. Is that too small and dangerous and should I not bother? Or again do you have a good method for doing these types of thin pieces with good hand tools?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  7 років тому +1

      That's a lot of questions Casey. ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'll start with the longer boards. I have found that longer boards are better suits for the larger machines. However, you can set up an auxiliary out feed roller at the end of the out feed table to help support the stock as it comes out of the jointer. The problem is, that the out feed rollers have to be the exact (stressing exact here) same height as the out feed table. Otherwise, you will cause problems with your flat surfaces. Smaller pieces like the 1" X 1" pieces are just fine to do on a jointer as long as you are using push pads and not your hands. You will also want to make sure that all your safety guards are in place and in good working order. There is a way to do jointing on a router table and I have produced a video on the channel to show you how to do this. ua-cam.com/video/fdHvU-IeEJU/v-deo.html
      With the proper safety gear, I don't think that the pieces that you are asking about are much of a risk on the jointer. I will give this one other piece of advice. If it doesn't feel right or you aren't comfortable with doing something, DON'T DO IT!!!! You brain is telling you that there is something wrong or that there is something that you could do a little safer.

    you should never use pressure at any given time, let the cutter head do the job (assuming you have sharp blades), the weight of the wood is sufficient. use your push sticks only to push the wood through.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  6 років тому +1

      While I agree that you don't need to place excessive pressure on the board you are jointing, the emphasis what placed of applying pressure on the out-feed table because most folks were applying pressure on the in-feed table causing them to get concave results. I'm not talking about hundreds of pounds of force here, but just enough to keep the board from firing back at you from the directional force of the spinning blades. Pressure is still required to prevent this.

    Hi Ken, Ive a delta DJ20/8", just had the infeed table machined, shes perfect now, same as the outfeed. Ive been following this system to set co-plane of both tables where you start by setting the outfeed 15/1000 above the cutterhead, then do same with the infeed. The outfeed is set perfectly as is the cutterhead end of the infeed table but the start end of the infeed table,(opposite the cutterhead), just wont raise high enough to match the 15/1000 everywhere else. Even with the cams turned to their highest point. Ive heard about "shims/wedges", is this what I need to fix my problem? Could you perhaps shed some lite on shims/wedges, IE: what, when, where, how? Or if you've any other suggestions on how to resolve my issue. Thanks a lot Sir.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings

      If this were me, I would be looking into some brass shims. You can buy them pre cut at various thicknesses, or, if you like (and it would be my preferred method) you can buy the brass shim stock in a small roll where all you need to do is cut your own custom shims from the sheet stock. Depending on the extra height that you need, brass shims are a great way to level everything out without too much aggravation. Lee Valley does sell this stock, but I'm sure that you can search around for a vendor in your local neighbourhood.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  7 років тому

      Thanks for the question. The purpose of the jointer is to make one surface perfectly flat and the adjacent surface (or edge) perfectly flat and 90 degrees to your first flat surface. The opposing flat surface would be accomplished in a thickness planer while the apposing flat edge would be accomplished on the table saw after you check you blade for its squareness to the table surface. The jointer planer does not have the ability to accomplish parallel surfaces.

      You are correct on the size. It is an 8" jointer and the brand name is Craftex. It is a brand sold here in Canada by a company called Busy Bee Tools. I have heard many people compare the tools to the Grizzly brand, which would be the American equivalent. It is a 240 volt machine and thus far, the only issues I have had with it is a wore out a belt while making the workbench project. I hope this answers all your questions......if not, feel free to ask more. I'd be more than happy to help you out.

    The operation and the purpose of the jointer are quite a lot less intuitive than with other tools.
    I have found unsound simplification detrimental to skill development with the jointer. Abridged understanding with short boards leads to difficulty for the general case with long boards. Overall, I find jointer simplified creating problems in the future.
    The simpler situation is when the work is not longer than the infeed table, but this situation should be exceptional simplification and should not be emphasized. (This situation as a simplification should become obvious when the general more difficult case is understood.)
    On jointing on the edge, illustration on the jointer should be with boards twice or three times the length of the infeed table and with significant curvature in bow
    On jointing on the face on a slightly bowed long board, one has to first understand the purpose of the jointer. It is often not the purpose of the jointer to remove all bow from a thin board (say four quarter thick 5-6 inches wide) 48-60 inches or longer. Doing so would often require taking too much off and making the board too thin, and a thin long board generally flexes. After one establishes enough even high spots on one face; one uses the thickness planer to "joint" both faces. The issue of bowed for a thin long board is overcome during assembly with cross members.

      You really like to analyze the heck out of this don't you. That's a lot of fancy words that might confuse more folks than it would help them. However, you seem to be quite confident and persistent in your want of NOT simplifying the jointer's purpose and use, so as to prevent problems in it's operation down the road. The purpose of this show was to assist those who were getting poor results with properly dimensioned lumber due to a poor technique of applying force solely on the in-feed table instead of the out-feed table. It sure wasn't taking into account all possible scenarios and it surely didn't require a PHD in the structure and physics of wood to understand that you need to apply pressure here, not here. I will leave your information here in the comments to assist those who wish to take their jointing to the extreme level and delve into every aspect of every scenario that could possibly occur while jointing boards of various dimension and proportion to the in-feed and out-feed tables. Thanks for the input on the show and hopefully, it will come in handy to those who are interested in that information. Thanks for tuning in. I do have to wonder though.....for someone who is so in tune with the jointer, it's function and the proper way to joint boards and the proper purpose of the jointer; why would you click on a video of simple, beginner's instruction or introduction to the jointer?
