Could use the fence moved in and a guard for the blade by the operator.

 

But pretty pieces nonetheless!!!!!!!!

It's not really a fence. Did you notice the powerfeeder ?

If that's not a fence, how are you jointing edges squarely??

Wow Rob, great setup. Does the powerfeed work ok on a jointer? I have a 12" and always thought about putting a power feed on it, but thought that you lose the control to flatten aboard? Is that 20 or 24" wide? Makes me dribble on the keyboard.... bob

Wow! Nice stuff. How about some brand names and sizes?

Hi Dragon , I have other machines that edge joint , different saws and a specially set up shaper - way faster for me.

Bob ,The power feeder is indispensable flat out . A good eye , two swipes with the hand to establish two points and away you go. I keep a dedicated planer right next to the jointer that also helps straightening out the tough ones . This set up is necessary when working in 3-D or millwork that is not flat when finished .

You never seem to skimp on equipment great toys Rob

Thanks Rob. Just a slick setup. I understand about having dedicated shapers. I have 5  and would use more if I had more room. bob

Bob , I have another one on order from SCM that is a pretty good sized machine and it  will be here early summer . It is one of the reasons I am expanding the shop.

Nice machine. I am sure it will see lots of use. The products you do are great. Do you use all water base finish? In California, I suppose you have to. Did you ever try ML Campbell Agualante? Nice stuff too. bob
