jointer decision
"Jack Stein" wrote in message ... Snip When buying S2S lumber it's the tool to clean up an edge with no muss or fuss to prep for cutting. I can't imagine hot melting a fence to do this on a TS if you have a jointer at hand? I think he is hot melting a straight edge on to the rough edged stock and runs the straight edge along the TS fence. With this type application or a sled like I use it takes "1" pass on the TS to straighten the most crooked of edges. With a jointer that takes several passes. Think about taperng a leg, you can do that on a jointer with several passes or with 1 pass using a taper jig on the TS. The jig the TS workes much like a taper jig, it uses a straight edge to reference the TS fence. |

With this type application or a sled like I use it takes "1" pass on the TS to straighten the most crooked of edges. For an irregular, crooked edge I reckon, but thats not what I'm talking about. S2S is generally ripped fairly straight at the mill, just the edges are rough, not irregular. I can make several passes on my jointer and rip the plank to size before my glue gun even warms up. Probably faster than I can dig out my glue gun and hook it up:-) With a jointer that takes several passes.
