About 30 years ago, I patented and for a few years sold an automatically self-aligning jointer table extension as part of a universal woodworking system, originally sold under the brand name, "Joiner's Edge". You can see the method in my US patent #4,817,693. I still have components to sell, but you could implement the method and build your own self-aligning extension(s) from materials you already have in your shop. BTW, as a technical matter, extending the infeed table is actually more critical than extending the outfeed.
Thank you for this beauiful short and to the point video! No bloviating on how long you've done this, everything you own, what you've built, and ESPECIALLY that I should subscribe etc...just straight to the point. This is such a great idea- thank you!
That's a very simple and effective solution for a very stressing and potentially harmful problem when working with the jointer!! I'll be looking to get the right steel tubing for this! Thank you! 😄
Thanks! I should have showed more clearly the adjustable post i have on the end because it's important to fine tune that so that it is perfectly on the same plane as your jointers outfeed.
I only use this because of the weight of a long heavy board and that’s only an issue on the out feed side. As for the bow I find it easier to straiten the convex side of a board if possible. Just be sure to start in the middle of your board and work outward.
@@terrylevasseur2819 Thank you for the answer. I thought that occasionally I might want to face joint some 7 foot boards, I think it should be fine then.

Hi Michael, are you still selling the product? If so, how would I find it?

Thanks Ben! There's certainly room for refining but overall it does work pretty well.

@@terrylevasseur2819 Yeah. Maybe you could make another video. But it's an adjustable post, maybe with a piece of threaded rod?
@@leonardorojas1781 yeah its an old pipe stand with a nut welded on top and a bolt to adjust the height. Cheers
Great video!!! Its so clear and simple that it almost self explained.. Great work and idea! Thank you so much!
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed!
Happy woodworking!!
Wouldn't a infeed extension be more important so you don't follow a bow over the back of the infeed table?

Does this work as well for face jointing?
It does but to be honest I don't face joint real long stuff very often.

How much those it cost
I just made mine from scrap I had laying around but I’m sure you could do it for under $50 from a steel supplier.
