should be concentrated over the outfeed table. That way the knives can extend that

machined-flat portion and minimize the amount of wood that is removed during

however many cuts needed to eliminate the rest of the defect.

o Another technique that can help true a slightly distorted board is swapping ends

between the first few cuts. While the finish cuts should be made with the knives

working ‘down’ or with the grain, reversing the piece during the initial cuts will help

average wood loss at either end, help bring the board down flat to the tables evenly and

actually minimize the amount of wood removed.

• Feed Rate: Feeding your workpiece too fast can cause a rippled appearance of the edge

after cutting.

o Slowing the feed rate slightly will allow the knives to clear the surface evenly and leave a

flat, smooth edge.

o When jointing a wide face, the feed rate has to be much slower even than when jointing

an edge because there is so much wood being removed.

o Also, as the wood gets harder, the feed rate has to be reduced.
