Default Wow, Popular Magazined advises dangerous procedures

OOOhhhhh....Ok. Place hands on the wood, bearing down a bit, and pushing
the stock that is on the outfeed, rather than pulling the already jointed
end. Is that right?



Yes, you push the board all the way through the cycle. First from the in
feed end at the beginning of the pass and then as the stock goes over the
out feed end you move your hands to the out feed end and continue to push.
You do not want to push down hard, as you indicated bearing down a bit, if
you push down too hard and the board is warped you will end up removing
stock that does not need to be removed.

This is one machine that tends to be an acquired touch to get consistently
good results.
