(George*Max) doth burble:
Wrong. It is *never* possible to use a planer as a jointer. snip

Oh ye of little imagination. I don't have a jointer, and do most
of my jointing with my planer.

Simple enough, use a planer sled. They'll work even with crooked
wood. I've made two, plan on another. Or, you can make a guide to run
stock thru, I may try that for my next project.


Did you read my whole message?

I quote: "or you otherwise use any clever jigs or other
contraptions to hold your board as it goes through the planer, you
*might* get away with making the surfaces flat and reasonably parallel
to each other."

While possible, far too much rigamarole. My shop time is too limited
to allow for something that's going to be different for each board.
All that setup. That takes too long.

But as my message says, I *might* do it if the situation presents its
self and its justifiable (to me).
