Jointer Question

[jar944]

When a board is twisted I flatten it with the planer by shimming it, if it's bowed I would straighten it using the table saw. I see what you mean though if you have a jointer like in your avatar, thanks.

The shimming will work, but you are doing the job of the jointer by making making the flat plane with shims and or a sled.

You are thinking of crook, if you can fix it with a table saw.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for the diagram, very helpful.

...and yes I was thinking of a crook, I have been using the wrong terms for a long time.

Thats before you get into the level of rabbit vs rebate..

What about rabbets? My wife would kill me if I took one of her pets and ran it across a jointer.

I thought everyone cleaned their meat rabbits on a jointer?

You can just move the fence towards you if one day you become jealous of all the 6 and 8" guys.
