In order to joint a board wider than your jointer, you would have to
remove the blade guard and run the board through (doing 6" or 8" of
width) then flip the board around and do the rest. Either way, on one
of the passes the grain will be in the wrong direction.



Did'ja notice that if you take the fence off the 6" clones that the slide
table is flush?

Not that it's a big deal. if the jointer's sharp, it can take some fairly
steep uphill grain with out hacking it out so far that a final pass through
the thicknesser can't recover a smooth surface.
