Is that a yes on the glue line, then? :-)

When I spend a thousand dollars on material on a project, I want every

Forgive my density. :-)
You say, "jointer...followed...by the Freud GLR"
Are you saying the jointer to straighten one edge, then saw to width,
and glue?

No ... with critical panel glue-ups in expensive stock, and once the
stock is correctly dimensioned to project spec, _I_ prefer to use _only_
the jointer to prepare the edges of the stock for glue-up.

The reason I do this as already been stated ... I personally have gotten
the best results with this method down through the years. The theory has
always been proven in the results for my way of working. YMMV ...

Leon is one of the finest cabinet/furniture makers I have ever had the
pleasure of knowing/working with.

His preference is completely different than mine in this regard, but you
can't argue with our respective results despite the different preference
in methods.

Whatever works for you ...
