Great video Patrick, I remember all of those rules except the ones about using the bridge guard. We didn’t have one of those in class, but that’s what I have now and I like it better than the older one!
انا بعشقك ومحبتك فى قلبى كبيره لما تقدمه من خبرات شكرا شكرا شكرا شكرا I adore you, and the love in my heart is great for the experiences you offer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
Patrick. Need guidance. I have a benchtop jointer and a 43” maple board with some twist. I’m taking small 1/32 passes but I feel like something is wrong. Takin like 10 passes already. What’s the right process?
Chad; twist is the hardest defect to deal with. It sounds like your piece may be rocking as you push it through. It’s important to maintain 3 points of contact from the infeed to the outfeed. Reducing the length of the material will help. On twisted stock, I’ve gone so far as to use a shim on one of the rear corners to provide that 3rd point of contact. That shim should not go through the cutterhead. I pause when the tail end of the board is about 2” short of the cutterhead and carefully remove the shim, before finishing the cut. By this time the majority of the board is on the outfeed and is fairly stable. Each successive cut gets easier. Let me know if this helps. Patrick
HI Bruch; thank you for your question. The cutterhead is standard on the Ironwood jointer. Like the Byrd, it has carbide inserts, though these are a wider, thicker, and inserted radially, not tangentially like the Byrd. I can't definitively comment on which is better, but I do know that the knives on our Ironwood hold up very well.
Jeffrey Lonigro , I really appreciate the response. I was exaggerating just a little but I have a very good straight edge and it's set properly. I feel like with the exception of some pieces that are fairly straight to start, if I am trying to joint a longboard maybe 6 or 7 feet long I would sometimes need to take up to a half an inch off to get the board completely flat including planing the other side
Jeffrey Lonigro , it's an "El cheapo rigid 6" would have liked something larger but no room and too expensive to get new. Nothing on CL here that I could transport home alone
