Kenny, good video and good information for those that have never tried this process. Good good information.

@acutabove_woodworkings 3 года назад

Not only those who have never tried it Paul but also a refresher for those who have tried it. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment sir. It's very much appreciated.

Kenny this was such a well organized and explained video. I work out of a small shed so I could never fit a true jointer inside, so this was incredibly helpful!

@acutabove_woodworkings Год назад

I'm glad that you found it to be useful. This is an older video on the show and after years of edge jointing on the router table, the best advice I can give is to take small passes with the router. I believe in the video I adjust the fences to be about 1/8" off of each other. I would suggest a smaller offset. Possibly around 1/16" or less. You will get better results and less tear out on the wood. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.

That's a super sweet router table. I have a Botch tabletop that I've gotten decent results after some trial and error. The trick is getting the out-feed fence aligned with the cutter. I love the bearing idea. Thanks.

@acutabove_woodworkings 3 года назад

Thanks for the kind words on the router table. Using the guide bearing is a great way to set up the table for jointing. It's practically fool proof. I'm glad that you were able to take something positive away from this video. thanks for tuning in to the show.

You could use a toe kick on the outfeed... cheap and 1/16 Got another subscriber for this video..!

@acutabove_woodworkings 2 года назад

That's a great idea. Anything that can bring the out-feed table out slightly further than the in-feed will work. You don't need to take a large bite of material and 1/16" would be perfect. Good luck with your jointing. Thanks for tuning in and for the subscription. Glad to have you aboard as a viewer.

thanks for the vid, I believe the router fence that comes with the sawstop router table is nearly identical to the jessem that these vid will work for me.

@debandmike3380 2 года назад

This is a nice feature but a lot of steps. I usually just clamp or stick a thin sheet to the left fence. Excellent tip on the micro adjust.

@acutabove_woodworkings 2 года назад

It seems like a lot of steps in the video but honestly, once you know how to do it, it takes about 30 seconds to set up. I too used to use a scrap board on the out feed table and that method works just fine as well. No need for the fancy things when there is a work around.

@Amboyan11 2 года назад

Can you share details on the rod behind the fence that allows you to move the entire fence backwards and forwards?

@acutabove_woodworkings 2 года назад

I believe the rod you are referring to, is for the mitre slide on the fence. The fence itself runs in T-tracks mounted along the edges of the router table. If you are interested in information about this router table, I have a review of it on the channel. You can find it here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tb0mJqbHQN0.html Thanks for tuning in to the show, I hope it helps.

@Maxime-ho9iv 2 года назад

It also shows beautifully that jointing doesn’t make the sides parallel.

@acutabove_woodworkings 2 года назад

Jointing any board will only make one side straight. If you want parallel sides, you would have to run the board through the table saw with the jointed edge against the fence. You are 100% right though that jointing doesn't make parallel boards. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

@Maxime-ho9iv 2 года назад

@@acutabove_woodworkings Yea exactly, I think there’s still misunderstanding around the jointer because somehow people think they can just pass their piece on all sides and now all sides are parallel and square since everything is flat. But it’s not.

@Maxime-ho9iv 2 года назад

@@acutabove_woodworkings Since you’re here.. I’m currently thinking of the best way to set the bit depth relative to the fence, i.e. not the bit height but really the distance to the fence. It could be a nice subject for a video, do you use the scale on the sides of your Jessem fence? Do you use a digital gauge? Something else? I see most people setup their depth via trial and error and test pieces, I wonder if there’s a better way.

@acutabove_woodworkings 2 года назад

@@Maxime-ho9iv There is a HUGE misconception about the purpose of jointing wood and what it will accomplish. I get enough comments on the channel to see that constantly.

@acutabove_woodworkings 2 года назад

@@Maxime-ho9iv That would be a good subject to cover for sure. For me, I place layout lines where I want to router and use the micro adjust to get the bit aligned with those layout lines. I then adjust me fence scales on either side to reflect the same measurement. (the measurement really doesn't matter as it is just a reference point). I then can re-adjust the fence using the fence scale and micro adjust for subsequent routings. I hope this makes sense.

This show was a response to a viewer request Al. If you are interested in router table jointing but don't have the fancy router table like I have in this video, you can watch my original video demonstrating how to do it on a normal router table and fence, without all the fancy gadgets.
