In this video I demonstrate how to cut perfect tapers using nothing but your jointer.
This week I want to share how cutting tapers on a jointer can be an outstanding furniture building technique. No need for a tapering jig, I will demonstrate how to use a jointer to cut perfect tapers for your furniture pieces moving forward.
To see the video I watched to learn this technique, click the link below;

I made a tapered leg jig this weekend, it turned out great! I seen this video and it took me two days to watch it. I was very skeptical, I followed your instructions and even though it was nerve racking in the beginning, they turned out great! Thanks for sharing. I now have a new trick in my bag.

You're right, the finish the jointer leaves on the taper really is outstanding. I used it last year to cut tapered table legs, but instead of using marks on the jointer fence, I marked the length of my first cut with a stop block clamped to the jointer fence. Either way, the result is the same - a super easy taper! As usual, you put together a video clearly explaining the technique!

Great video! I just did this earlier this week for a pair of matching end tables. My only recommended additional step would be to add a stop block on the fence after the first cut to the midpoint line. It makes the following cuts (in my case - 15 more cuts to taper 2 sides each on 8 legs) MUCH more repeatable and accurate. Keep up the great content!

This is a good idea for repeatable tapers. I however prefer to make the initial cut on the band saw and clean up the face with a hand plane. I feel like i get a better surface. I also get a bunch of little shop made shims that i use all over the place.

I would do the depth of cut double check BEFORE marking the start of the cut position. Your relative position to the round cutter head would change if you had to adjust the infeed table.

Thanks for the technique. Best video I’ve seen so far! Liked for the super wide shot. Allowed me to see the big picture with the two sided taper. P.S. I’m considering purchasing the 8” in lieu of the the six. You sold me on the Powermatic brand/quality. Beautiful cuts. Thanks for sharing
@bentswoodworking
@bentswoodworking 5 лет назад

@fredventrone3379
@fredventrone3379 3 года назад
Robert many of the rough lumber boards you’ll find are in the 6-8” range. If you do go with 6”, make sure you can remove the piece on the side of the jointer that would allow you to overhang the wider board ( >6” wide). There is a technique that allows you to then use that flat edge on a flat sled that you run through the planer flattening the opposite side. Once that is done, you can flip it to run the side originally run on the jointer t rid of the excess the jointer couldn’t reach.

You were right to feel nervous about this process. Yes is an option however in my opinion it is not the best option from a safety respect especially for a new woodworker. You have explained the process very well; however this would not be my first choice for making tapers. Check out Steve Latta Leg Tapering Jig article from Fine Woodworking Magazine. In my opinion this is a better option from a safety respect especially for the newer person to woodworking. I enjoy your presentations Very detailed and very clear.

@barryirby8609
@barryirby8609 5 лет назад
Thank you for posting. I watched Glen Huey's post years ago. I have several questions and observations. That initial cut, taking 3/8" off half the legs is a heavy cut and prone to tear out to those of us without helical heads. Try leaving the jointer set up at 3/8", put a start mark at half the cut on the fence, and make a pass with the leg in the same position you use for your second cut, top forward and bottom on the line. Then make the second cut with the leg in the same position and it will complete the taper. A second suggestion is to not try to taper right to the bottom of the apron. Allow 1/2" or maybe an inch for sanding and smoothing. I have done hundreds of legs like this. Much less prone to tear out. For those who fear variations in the legs, this is accurate enough to produce legs that are visually identical once they are installed. And you should try doing this with the planer and a sled, you can do four at a time. Then you can run them through a drum sander on the same sled.

You are a teacher. Great explanation and camera work. I understand you are just showing a different way to skin a cat.

I saw where you had the depth of cut set before you started. I usually only take that deep of a cut (maybe even less) and I never change the depth. Would you have any reservations with this technique if you had straight knives? 3/8" is a big bite from my perspective.

It is a little nerve racking at first. The video I learned it from did 3/8” cuts on a three blade jointer

I just saw that old video you referenced before youtube served me up your video. I do think it’s clever, but honestly isn’t it much faster and more efficient on a table saw with a tapering jig? I also wonder have you ever used your jointer to do a rebate?

This is just another one of the many techniques to accomplish a task. And no, I have not used it for a rabbet

I'll have to do the math but....what if you wanted a 4" flat section on the top of the leg? I normally use a tapering jig that I built from watching an old Yankee's Workshop show with Norm A many years ago. I do like this approach but I'll need to do some testing to figure out how it works with different lengths of flat sections at the top of the leg. I've built several different table and desks and depending on what the client was looking for, the flat section often changes from project to project. Good clear video though. Nice work.

I just figured it out in my shop. The important point is the halfway point. So, in your case, if you wanted 4" on top instead of 3" your center point would have been 7-1/2" instead of 8". Got it! Will definitely try this technique on my next project. Thx

@bentswoodworking 5 лет назад
Yes it doesn’t change anything when adjusting the size of your flat portion. The only thing that would change is your centerpoint of the taper which means you would just stop the cut at a different location. The taper it self is dictated off the finished size you want the bottom to be

This is great but the scribed line should be made after checking the depth right?

@bentswoodworking 3 года назад
Scribed line?
@hakancarlsson2881
@hakancarlsson2881 3 года назад
@@bentswoodworking The line you put on jointer as the stop must be moved if you adjust the depth I think?
@bentswoodworking
@bentswoodworking 3 года назад
Oh, yes. Once you set your depth, you would then scrub the line to determine the location that the cutter head just begins to cut

So I'm considering using this technique, however, I have a jointer with straight blades... 3/8" seems drastic for the machine. Thoughts? Love your content, keep it up!
@bentswoodworking
@bentswoodworking 4 года назад
I wouldn’t be concerned. There is a older video here on RU-vid that a guy does it with straight knives. It’s actually the video that I learned the technique from.

nice job. but looks more dangerous and more steps involved, then using a taper jig on the table saw?

So does this technique limit your MAX taper to the MAX depth cut of your jointer?

It can yes.
