• For bad edges, use a long straight edge or snap a chalk line to mark the edge just inside
the defect. Most often this cut line is positioned to minimize the amount of wood to be
removed, but it can be also angled slightly so the finished edge is more closely aligned
with the grain of the wood. After marking, use a bandsaw, circular saw or jigsaw to
remove and straiten the defective edge. Then take the new edge to the jointer to
perfect the edge with considerably less effort and loss of wood.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to run a crooked board through a table saw to remove a
defect without a straight edge to place against the fence, the risk of a kickback and
burning up the saw blade is very high.
2) Second, flatten one face of board: First step in getting your board squared is to run one face of
the wood [the face that is more concave that the other] through the jointer until that face is flat.
(See Section 5. Jointer for details of how to setup and use this piece of equipment.)
• The wood needs to be run length-wise through the jointer. Always remember that your
wood has to be at least 12” long x 3/4" wide AND never joint an edge less than 1/4" thick.
Anything smaller is a safety hazard to you, those around you and can harm the equipment.
• Start by checking grain pattern of each piece of stock to be jointed. Jointing stock against
the grain can cause chipping of the board. (see Section 4.1 Reading Grain Orientation)
• Mark your stock using the arrow method below to indicate grain direction.
3) Third, flatten one edge of the board and get it square to the flattened side: Run one edge
through the jointer [with the now flat side against the jointer fence] until the edge is flat.
(NOTE: Before starting this step, be sure to check the jointer fence with a machinists square to
ensure the face and edge will be square (90°) to each other. Adjust the fence if necessary.)
4) Fourth, get the two faces of the board parallel to each other: Run the wood through the planer
[with the now flat side down] until it is smooth. (See Section 6. Planer for details of how to setup
and use this piece of equipment.)
• Now your wood is flat and smooth on three sides (two faces and one edge) and these three
sides are square to each other.
