one way to avoid tear out on side on the backside of your cutting board as happened to you hear in the video, is to perhapa router a 2mm @ 45" chamfer before sending through plainer. The left over chamfer can be removed on table saw if needed . Hope that helps. Absolutely loved your video and easy explanation.

Chamfering the trailing edges of the board before planing really eliminates tear out. I pretty much always chamfer the edges of my boards anyhow.

Top posting. The board looks so good, in fact, I've now done all the sawing as per your sizing..now to get some TB3 and mineral oil. Thanks from an Aussie learner.

Add a sacrificial board to both ends or try to bevel the edge slightly to there isn't an edge for the planer to grab.

Looks awesome! I think one way to prevent the tear out is to glue culls to the front and back with the edge grain up. I even glue them to the sides for safety because my planer is not as good as yours. Cut them off once you have it planed flat.

Do you guys have any tricks for planing the end grain boards without damaging the trail end? I would not recommend my method because pieces could have broken off and shot out. The best suggestion I've seen so far is to use masking tape and CA glue to attatch longer pieces to the side while planing.

I'll experiment with this at some point. I like the idea of putting longer pieces on the sides but then that would make the possible width of the cutting board narrower.

Hi, it's a problem that I also had unfortunately, when you pass the end grains under the plane it happens due to the countergrain and among other things they advised me not to use the plane with the end grains but rather to use a sander or a router, congratulations anyway, the cutting board is really beautiful, greetings.

Wow, that's a nice looking cutting board! For tare out on the end grain... I think generally speaking, it is not recommended to run end grain boards through a planer. 0_o those last pieces could break off and shoot out. Scary stuff! The way I've seen it done (safely) is to glue on sacrificial boards all the way around. Doing this also allows you to make the side sacrificial boards extra long, eliminating snipe. Bonus!

I did basically the same thing when I built an end grain board (I am still kind of new so I have only done it once). But I only added a sacrificial piece to the trailing end of the board (as it goes through the planer). As @Make with Jake said, this can also help with snipe as well.

I've tried a large chamfer with limited success.

A sacrificial piece of hardwood glued to the end would have preserved the end grain of the board. Then you could have just cut that piece off at the table saw. Most people wouldn't run endgrain through a thickness planer, since it's very likely that it will separate, catastrophically (explode). A drum sander, router flattening sled, or belt sander are safer choices.
