Hello, it been 15 years since I have last used a jointer. I used them heavily for 4 years so im in the right mind but rusty.
I have a few basic questions.
1) rough 4 sides 2 inch oak, Cupped side down(so bow up) first till u get a jointed edge thats hitting the whole surface?
2) Then plane or joint an edge? or whatever your preference is maybe?
3) I can rip it from one jointed edge so I guess I dont need both edges jointed.
4) I think pressure when jointing edge should be slight but enough so it doesnt bounce and then hand on wood over blade as it pass over, hand over hand style. Is this correct?
5) Outfeed table should be same height as blade I believe?
Sorry for such boring questions.I did a search on the here and didnt find.I also did a web search and found some very long explanations.With not all the answers I was looking for.
Ill post pics when done, it will be a dining room table when all done.Maybe 2 weeks.
