Insane! First time seeing someone putting end grain through a jointer/thicknesser with confidence. Is this something that is only possible on a helical cutter?
@redgontheedge You are absolutely right! With a helical cutter, it’s definitely better, but it’s still not the optimum method. The best machine for this job is a drum sander. Unfortunately, I don’t have one yet, but I’m planning to get one this year. I follow these tips, and they’ve worked perfectly for me so far: • Make the board at least one inch longer to avoid tear-out at the ends. • Add a small chamfer to the ends of the board to further reduce the risk of tear-out. • Take very light passes, no more than 0.1 mm at a time, to minimize stress on the wood. I’ll be happy if I could help! Let me know if you have any more questions!
@redgontheedge I know exactly what you mean. Using a router bit felt like a lifelong process, and sanding down those strips took forever. That’s why I decided not to use a router anymore. If it works only with a helical cutter, I’m not entirely sure. You could give it a try, but make sure to take off as little as possible at a time-try 0.1 mm passes. If it goes wrong, you can always switch back to the router. Let me know if it works with a normal cutter; I’d really love to know this information!
@s44577 Ok, you asked for it-you’re getting it! I’m going to make plans for the boards. Which board would you like to have the most? I’ll start with that one!
very nice
Thank you :)

@redgontheedge I’m sorry, I accidentally deleted your last message, but I wanted to refine my answer!🙈
Another stunner. If you make and sell plans for these boards you're doing, I will be a loyal customer 😁

@@stammherz Wonderful. I'm in! Gosh, hard to choose, but that purpleheart stunner--ALL of them are great though---no bad choices 👌
