When checking that the in and out feed tables are co-planar, check at the fence AND at the opposite edge of the infeed and outfeed. Otherwise, you could have one side even and the other wonky, leaving them NOT co-planar. Also, the Jointer you have comes with a n allen wrench that fits the blade roller, and allows you to turn the blades manually. YOUR MANUAL HAS THIS INFO IN IT! AND, the optimum blade height is so that the blades (cutters) just kiss the straight edge, but DON'T move it at all. Did you even read your manual? (Edit to add) I have the same exact model of Wen Jointer.

You knowwwwwwww anything you buy that has stock blades etc the blade will be cheap. even on mowers. So have you changed the blade?
@mrrberger22 күн бұрын
A knife will stay sharper if cutting along the grain instead of across. If the user stands at the side of the board using left to hold and right to cut then a 30-45 angle will align the grain to the blade. The reason end-grain boards are good is the universal cutting angles options while saveing the blade. Additionally, creativity is secondary to content these days. Well done for having a crack.
@wescampbell252625 күн бұрын
A true re-saw blade would be a skip tooth, which removes the sawdust from the kerf. And usually 3-4 tpi. Doubtful you’ll find one in the size you need. Regardless of if you are re-sawing or flat sawing, its always going to be a rough cut. Its not meant to be a finishing machine.

Just like on a table saw, the blade makes a massive difference. I am sure that stock blade is pretty terrible and your results with a better one like an Olson. Good news is that bandsaw blades are MUCH cheaper than table saw blades.

Oh man have I haha. I tried making a thin ripping jig and just didn’t feel comfortable/confident using it. So I’ve decided not to rip thin strips on the table saw. To be fair, I haven’t tried it your way, although I’ve seen it being done.
@Golgafrinchamdent2 ай бұрын
Did you square the fence to the blade? Just as important as squaring a table saw fence to the blade. Out of whack will cause the cut to veer one direction, and excess friction.
@FiveOClockWoodshop2 ай бұрын
Very helpful hint, I’ll have to look at the manual to see how to do that since the blade is so thin, I can’t think of how to do it off of the top of my head!

Use a good 13inch square squaring off the table and messure out on both sides, hopefully the table is square with the blade to make that work.

Great info on cutting boards man 🤜 🤛. You didn’t over complicate the process nor did you leave bits & pieces out. For the most part, all the info is there for someone to get started on making one of their own. Great job! Everyone that makes THEIR version of a cutting board has their own way & opinion on how THEY do it. There is no right or wrong so long as the end result is the same in the end. As it’s said - in word working, there are a variety of ways to do & accomplish the same task. Different machines, hand tools, mental methods, strategies, etc. I’m sure you get what I’m getting at 👍. Just keep doing you & how you do things & you’ll be successful. I tend to learn from either hands on OR from someone like yourself, being clear, concise & to the point without too much over complicated details that aren’t needed at that time in the process. You’re young, starting & learning. It’s a great time in your life to begin this journey & not only learn from your mistakes, but learn from others as well. Keep at it & don’t look back. Tomorrow is where your success will be, based on what you did yesterday & today! Well done on what you’ve accomplished so far. Tony 🇺🇸 - Central Coast Cali

A 1200 watt heat gun will work. It’s can also exceed the melt and start scorching it. A torch quickly exceeds the scorch temp. You want about 220 degrees. Boiling water is enough to bend and mold PVC, but it’s so close to the lower temp, that as soon as the boiled PVC touches anything cooler, it becomes rigid again. So boil water is great for bending PVC only.
