How to Flatten Large Boards in a Planer









I grew up working in my dad’s customized woodworking store standing in a pile of shavings on the outfeed aspect of a 24″ planer. Oh positive, we had mud assortment, however we (me) incessantly received too lazy to go empty the ten-foot-cubed collector into fifty-5 gallon drums and drag them to the dumpster. So often I stood in a pile of shavings. Ah, the posh of the great previous days!


One other advantage of a business store is a giant jointer, we"ve a 12″ jointer in our store. Twisted boards don’t stand a probability! Nevertheless, in case your uncooked inventory is a sixteen″-broad maple slab, even that massive jointer isn’t large sufficient – so that you’re headed for a glue-up. Positive the person boards are sq. and true, however with a glued-up slab, there’s all the time room for error. Sure, hand planes and winding sticks are an choice (however not one which I discover palatable, particularly in maple!) Or you may simply chuck the board into the planer and cross your fingers. However with the rollers urgent down on the board, you’re extra doubtless to simply find yourself with a thinner off-kilter slab.


So right here’s a trick from Scott Francis on maintaining the slab secure for the primary few runs on one aspect to offer you a flat floor to work from. Fairly intelligent!
