Many times when I use my jointer on the sides I get a pronounced tapered cut.
I know my jointer is set up properly but this is something I guess from my technique.
I start with the face and then use that side against the fence. I know I'm in trouble right away because the cut stops toward the end of the the piece. My technique is to get the piece just over to the out feed table then hold firmly on the out feed table while keeping some pressure over the middle and end so it doesn't chatter or bounce over the knives.
Thanks in advance,
Phil
