Jointer: Shallow or Deep Cuts?
I just had my first real opportunity to prep some rough stock yesterday. I
thought the conservative thing to do would be to set the jointer for very shallow (about 1/32nd) cuts, and make as many passes as necessary to remove all of the milling marks on the face of the board. I left the jointer set the same way to do the edge of the board, once the face was flat. The results seem OK, but after about a zillion passes, I started to wonder if this was the proper strategy. Should I have used a more aggressive cut? What are the factors that I should apply when making this decision? Thanks. -- Art Greenberg artg AT eclipse (remove this) DOT net |
