That is really clever and far easier than most of the jigs most people seem to submit for this process. I have a jointer, but as noted it can take a long time on some boards to get to that point, whereas this method is fast and safe to get a straight edge. One additional method may be to use finishing nails instead of a pin nailer depending on your tool availability.
Obviously the video was created for SawStop friends but the procedure works even for those lesser table saws. It even works on my Shopsmith Mark V Model 510.
Greg, I am thinking that double sided carpet tape might be another non-invasive method of attaching the straight edge board to your work piece. Great video as usual.
Bryan Vu i dont think he was referencing that in this video... he's showing how to edge joint a board, using a table saw... which some people dont know they can do. great tip!
no what you are doing is lopping off the bad side then you can flip it and lop off the other side and they will both be parallel. you don't need the jointer. you can then put it on a crosscut sled and make the ends of the boards 90 degrees to the two parallel edges.
@@jasonbenjamin1464 Wrong, still need a jointer for making the face flat and it should be done before edging it. The chances of the edge and face being at 90deg's are nill if you rip the edge first so you'll have to rip it again once the face is made flat.
This is a terrible way to accomplish the goal; shooting metal into a piece of wood just gonna require additional finishing you’re gonna miss a piece of metal and planets don’t work together. whatever the next step is better if you clamp it to a piece of wood or even glue it and then cut that away.
