Thread: Using a planner to make identical board widths?

  1. #16
    Standard procedure here too. Rip to rough width on the band saw, final dressing at the planer. I go out of my way to avoid ripping wood on the table saw, my personal preference.

    SOP here as well to put a knife finish or machine sand every surface that isn't getting glued. Byrd cutterhead in my RC-63 has no problem doing edge dimensioning.

    I would make 24" long ripped boards and after they are the proper width, cut them to length.

    Thanks for all the input guys!

    Currently I am doing window trim on some windows and this technique is really useful. Can't imagine why I did not think of doing this on my own!

    i feel more comfortable knowing it is SOP for guys that do this for a living.
