Home made jointer guard

[Marty Schlosser]

I'd be scared to death to run any jointer without a guard, and am happy to hear that you're considering to at least make a back guard for it.

I run my 30" without a guard, I should make a back guard for it, I have a tendency to pile stuff up behind the fence.

Even with a guard, typical pork chop style, you still expose the cutter when you start facing a board.

Yeah, some head is exposed when edging (don't do it often SLR takes care of most of that).

I always use my gripper push pads, need the grip when pushing large lumber over it.
