Jointer safety question
I need to trim a slight bevel into the face of a 6/4x4x12 hunk of hard maple. I'm using the board for a face for the tail vise of the new bench. As it turns out, the movable jaw is a tad askew resulting in a nearly 1/4 inch gap at the top when fully closed.
My thought is to glue a 1/4x1/4 inch strip across the length of the piece along the edge of the face and then run this through the jointer until the strip disappears. Would you consider this a safe operation?
