6 inch WEN Jointer- is it worth it? 

I like it. Thank you for the tip.

Well it's mine now.

@@kisswoodworking3872 not arguing that just stating facts. I used to buy a lot of hand tools from pawn shops, and still hunt down old woodworking hand tools in pawn shops, second hand shops, and flea markets

I've thought about doing that also. Thanks for watching.

I also have the tracksaw from them...watch the video 😀 but yes overall I'm really happy with this brand. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

I will keep that on mind, ty

Glad I could help!

It's a battle for sure. But this Jointer really helps make it happen.

Though I don't buy so much the high dollar tools. I seem to still spend a lot lol

Thank you for the advice and thank you for watching.

Very nice video. You and I have very similar equipment. It was helpful to see how you set things up. I appreciate the walkthrough. Like you said, this is a device we don't use very often and it is easy to forget the particulars. I am doing my first project using actual nice hardwood and I am nervous about the mistake I am about to make. Wish me luck.

I'm working on my second walnut project. I use practice pieces before doing the walnut cuz I'm not rich lol.

I hope so!

just bought this on amazon thanks for the review !

Thank you very much. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching

Glad it was helpful!

Yw

Glad you liked it!

Agree. Thanks for watching.

I was a bit scared going with WEN. But my budget was right in line with their price. And I'm actually pretty happy with them.

I was just referring to when I was "calibrating" that gauge on the side.

Outfeed remains level with the blade. Infeed adjusts so as the board catches on the blade.

Glad you enjoyed it

It's too hard to tell. Everyone has different comfort levels and it does get harder the longer the board.

It can be for sure

From my personal experience, yes. Moving the fence in reduces (IMO) a risk in the event your hand slips. Alot of people told me that lip happens because of lack of knowledge. And in fairness you don't need the fence to joint the face of the board. But being new to this tool it's a habit that comes from all our tools with a fence i.e. table saw. So I'd say use the fence to joint the face until you become familiar with it. Thanks for watching.

@@kisswoodworking3872 You can also use the fence (with thinner material and on edges) to use different parts of the blade(s), to spread out the wear on them.

I was on marketplace and I saw their add. Thought it would have been sold or a lie. So I called them.

These texas summers are no joke. And I shut the fans off to help with audio. The things we do for Hollywood lol.

Thank you. I'm slowly learning this yt thing lol.

If what you wrote in the first part is true, then you know that even PROS often use a jointer to flatten one face (It's called "face jointing" even!), or at least a good portion of the face, in order to get that one square corner, right? So why are you acting like you know what you don't, and trying to correct someone that isn't in the wrong?

Firstly, this is just my opinion..as I said…I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL! Did you ever wonder why they’re called jointers? They are for dressing the edges of boards so they can be joined to the edges of other boards. Certainly, you can use it to plane the face of a board…as long as it’s less than six inches wide. This is why most joiners have only six inch cutting heads. Just because you see someone doing something on television, doesn’t mean it’s the correct way of doing it. All I’m saying is that it’s safer to face plane a piece of stock by running it through an actual planer. And the definition of a “pro” is someone who gets paid for performing a certain task…even if they’re doing something dangerous…you know, like face planing a piece of wood on a jointer when it should be run through a planer.

@@Lespaul23 Kinda funny that I bought this model jointer BRAND NEW, and the MANUAL says to face joint, then edge joint. Yes, the manual calls it FACE jointing. Now, go do research before spouting your ignorance again.

Hey thanks for the comment. But maybe you should understand at no point did I say I was an expert nor did I say I was teaching anyone. I said this is how I do it as this is my first Jointer. But ty for the comment.

He was sharing his experiences of learning how to do it as a noob... Feedback from someone like that to another noob can be helpful as they may experience the same issues that a veteran may have forgotten or not think to comment on
