The working area of ​​the jointer is smaller than the thicknesser - what should I do?

Hello dear readers and the inhabitants of our site!
In this article, the author of the Shaun Boyd YouTube channel will tell you what to do if the width of the working area of ​​your jointer is less than the working area of ​​the thicknesser.

The author thinks that if at least one person who has not seen this technique before reads this article, then it will justify itself.

A jointer even of a small size is a luxury, and a wide jointer is a big luxury, especially for people with small workshops.

Materials
- Board
- Sheet plywood.

Instruments, used by the author
- Jointer
- Reysmus.

Manufacturing process.
This technique is a way to make people think you have a big jointer, when in fact you are just spreading wide boards on a small one, only six inches wide.


If the master assembles the panel, he wants the supply of material to be as wide as possible, for example, on the sides of the cabinet.

The author wanted to keep as wide a width as possible on each piece, and he needed to decide how to make the boards super flat.
The author has this piece of red oak, and its width is about eight inches, and this is a couple of inches wider than the working area of ​​the jointer.


To use the entire width of the blade that the author has, he removes the protection. Then he drives the board through the jointer, but there remains a strip of raw material. But the result was a base six inches wide, perfectly flat.







And the width of the thicknesser allows you to process boards up to 12 inches wide. So, the author lays a strip of plywood with an emphasis on the end under the treated surface, and drives it through the surface gage. And the emphasis makes both parts move together.









As a result, the author has an absolutely flat second surface.
It remains only to drive through the thickness gauge the first side, on which there is an untreated strip several times.





Just be careful, when working with a jointer without protection it is very dangerous!
Here you have the perfect board!

Thanks to the author for a simple but useful advice on working with jointer and planer!
All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!
