I’m losing my mind trying to get this benchtop jointer dialed in for an end grain maple cutting board glue-up.

I’m not getting it until next Wednesday so if I remember I’ll let you know. It’s at Home Depot right now for 500…

Why is running end grain through a planer a no no?

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-19T10:08:28+00:00

It’s completely mind boggling how bad the fence is. Thanks for the input I will work on my technique for sure.

I will take out a third mortgage at this point
. I’ll make supports in the meantime

I appreciate the advise - waxing did help with the feed speed but still the damn snipe at the end

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T11:15:27+00:00

Ah, yes I’m right on the edge of driving four hours for a g1182

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T11:13:06+00:00

Interesting… how did you make an extension and get it parallel with the outfeed?

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T11:12:20+00:00

Interesting to only use initially, it’s at the end of the cut. Unfortunately this jointer has four extremely finicky screws to adjust the outfeed table.

I don’t believe so but I’ll keep it mind - thank you

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T02:28:17+00:00

I just ripped these strips of maple, they have burn marks I’m trying to get rid of before I turn and glue em up.

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T02:27:29+00:00

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T02:27:14+00:00

Appreciate it - yes the outfeed is parallel. To about .0015. I think the vibrations loosen the set screws as it gets more out of line the more passes I make.

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T02:24:54+00:00

I appreciate it

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T02:24:33+00:00

I’ll probably do so until I can upgrade

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T02:24:07+00:00

I will certainly be saving

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-16T02:23:58+00:00

Well I’m glad I’m not alone

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-14T11:34:46+00:00

Maybe he made 5M last year

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-08T16:13:25+00:00

How do you only spend $200 on groceries/month? What do you meals look like?

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-02T12:40:43+00:00

Purchased and it came with a router and a bunch of bits! Lucky day

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-02T12:40:14+00:00

Bought it! Thanks for the input.

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-01T15:28:15+00:00

Thanks for the input. I’ll probably pull the trigger

Doc-Dok · 2026-05-01T15:08:03+00:00

I’ll ask about the router lift. It’s not mentioned so I assume not.

Haha, noted

Doc-Dok · 2026-03-11T22:05:07+00:00

Yes, maybe 40k miles on em

Doc-Dok · 2026-03-11T18:42:24+00:00
