taking off glue squeeze out

[Maurice Mcmurry]

We had a dirty side and a clean side on the drum sander at the factory. First passes (with a little glue squeeze out) were on the left. Final passes were on the right. When we changed the paper the dirty side was always bad, the clean side was saved and reused for hand sanding. I am still using some of the right side pieces of those wraps for hand sanding 20 yeas later.

Furniture factories prepare panels, let the glue set, then plane them smooth. I have done the same for hundreds of panel glue ups. If someone damaged knives on a panel with glue squeeze out it is an indication that the planer knife was not made from a quality steel. Can you believe that cured glue is harder than an oak knot?

DeWalt says the blades are made of M2 High Speed tool steel.
