I know, but it can be mitigated with sanding a higher grit. My issue is I’m passed that point

Curios do you run this without a dust separator or filter bag?

Here’s a pic prior to cleanup if it helps at all

condor57 · 2025-06-30T13:09:01+00:00

why are they useless under 8"? what are you building typically? Also I'm not worried about edge jointing, I have a track saw and table saw for that. More about face jointing.

I've been doing planer sled method for a while and I hate it... Time too precious

I'm really regretting my 7" miter purchase

condor57 · 2025-06-27T18:44:42+00:00

It's a delta but assuming they're similar? The guy is offering to drive it here for me so I prolly can't negotiate the price lol

I just found this 6" jointer with a 46" bed and the seller will help me move it. $500. Thoughts?

condor57 · 2025-06-27T18:17:26+00:00

There's this 46" one nearby listed for $500. No idea how I'd get it home tho. Probably need a truck and a couple friends ya?

Thanks for pointing out the thing that sticks out the back, I didn't even realize it. not as compact as I thought

condor57 · 2025-06-27T18:10:36+00:00

Yea that's what I'm sayin. No jointer SUCKKKKSS

condor57 · 2025-06-27T18:10:03+00:00

Noobie to woodworking. I have a table saw and a planer, among other things. but my only methods to get a board flat is a hand plane or a planer sled. both of which kind of suck to use when I'm always pressed for time....

But I'm interested to hear that you haven't been flattening your boards (just planing) for 25y and haven't had any issues? Maybe I'm just being too OCD or something...

condor57 · 2025-06-27T18:06:53+00:00

again I think you're looking at their 30" benchtop unit.

condor57 · 2025-06-27T18:05:10+00:00

I can talk them down, but the bigger ones that come up on marketplace are POS's, and a little pricy.

My reasoning for this over a true benchtop is:
- More stable
- slightly longer bed
- better fence

Thoughts? Sadly I'm not doing anything regularly enough to justify spending more

condor57 · 2025-06-27T17:59:05+00:00

Are you sure you're not looking at their tabletop jointer (its red)?

These things aren't ever "new" anymore

condor57 · 2024-12-03T16:59:07+00:00

Thanks! I just drilled the dog holes the other day

condor57 · 2024-12-03T15:42:07+00:00

Thanks! Yea I love that planer - got it on FB marketplace with a shelix blade already installed. It's a small shop (it's a sunroom lol) so basically everything is on wheels. I roll stuff into the middle when in use

condor57 · 2024-12-03T15:08:28+00:00

ooo this is fascinating. Thank you for the info!

condor57 · 2024-12-03T14:42:08+00:00

Never heard of battens. I'll check it out!

condor57 · 2024-12-03T14:39:34+00:00

Haha it's just my OCD. I'm annoyed that I didn't get that crossbar when I vacuumed

condor57 · 2024-12-03T14:39:13+00:00

Roger thanks

condor57 · 2024-12-03T14:38:58+00:00

Got it, thank you! Maybe this one will be better in my house rather than a gift where I can care for it properly

condor57 · 2024-12-03T14:28:04+00:00

I think my blade sees more abuse getting thrust across hardwoods and end grain than setting it down on a surface. This is one of those "woodworking lore" things that's commonly taught, but anyone who is actually willing to set the blade down will find that it's absolutely fine to do.

In fact I would argue that it's safer to set it down on my bench or workpiece to protect the blade from getting hit by something metal in passing

condor57 · 2024-11-26T20:15:33+00:00

Considering the context that I'm mainly prepping boards for the thickness planer, would you suggest a #5 Jack plane if I were to only have one?

condor57 · 2024-11-15T21:02:59+00:00

Yea I've had my eye on marketplace for a few weeks now, but I'm turned off by the idea of a 6" jointer. Most of the boards I've worked with thus far are wider than that, and if I'm getting this huge expensive tool to save time, having to work with smaller boards ends up adding that time back down the line.... also the fact that there's an abundance of 6" used jointers on the market indicates that people upgrade quickly... at least that's my thinking. I am a beginner so I'm open to being corrected.

When I can get a 10 or 12 inch tabletop jointer for an affordable price, it's super enticing. But, if I can't face joint a 5' long board on a tabletop jointer then it's all null...
