This is good infor - thank you for sharing it. But I'd also like to say: your style of presentation is boss. You get straight to it - no wasted verbiage, no making your viewers wait - just fast and direct. And you illustrate these techniques with perfect clarity. My hat's off to you.
By far, the best educational video I've ever seen. Please keep them coming. I know the basics of woodworking but I still have a lot to learn. One area is how many uses certain tools have so I don't end up buying tools that take up space when there are other/better options.
Nice! I’ve never tried that tapering method, that’s the only good demonstration I’ve seen so I never really understood how that worked. I really need to fix my jointer so I can use it again.
That tapering idea was awesome. I've always wondered why my jointer goes above 1/8th of an inch in depth. That jointed edge was SO satisfying! Very nice!
tapering tip is great! Here's another for ya: I've seen people use jointers to make marimba keys. They drop both surfaces parallel and work out the wood in the middle. It looks a little sketchy, tho :)
Absolutely LOVE this!!@ Especially the tapering trick!!! Thanks SO MUCH again for the ambition, inspiration, and motivation! You are one of My top 3 favorite channels on this worldwide source of all knowledge! Cheers
I just got a super old jointer, table saw and skill saw from the 50s-60s. I have no use for the jointer but it’s really cool. Was hoping this video would show me something I could and would do with a jointer. I guess I’ll just have it in my shop to look cool.
Awesome video - always love seeing your name show up in my feed, but I found this very educational also. There were a couple of things I didn't realize a jointer could do. :) Cheers!
I have been using a jointed for years but it never occurred to me to use one for tapering. But it's very easy to screw up the depth of cut end-to-end by altering the pressure. So I would probably use this method to make a tapered sled to then run through the planer. Thanks!!!
#6. Make your fellow woodworkers green with envy. I thought my newly acquired powermatic 6" jointer was the bomb until I saw that Grizzly. By the way, I've been using the jointed for tapers for a while, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. We'll done.
This was a great video with some useful tips, the taper was new to me, but what I think your really saying is "look at my sweet new jointer", so congratulations on the bad ass new jointer!
Awesome video! You gave me an idea to cut half lap on the end of the boards using your taper technique and finishing the curved side with a miter saw and chisel, unless you have an easier method. I’d love to know. Subscribed!
Hi Will, great video! I have the same jointer coming at the end of the month. I would have never thought to taper legs like that. I have a table project that I will be doing this summer and will give that a shot!
woohoo! 101st comment! Thanks for the video! Never seen the taper method before. I'm refurbishing an 80s Delta planer and Craftsman 6" jointer planer to start up a shop using chainsaw milled wood. Really excited about the project. Can someone please reply with the formula for calculating taper angle?
Sir, how do you align your infeed table to ensure flatness? Seems my stock pieces all come out with the side of the face closest to the fence with a curve after I joint them. Maybe it’s the blade?
I've got an older video that goes over jointer setup. A long straight edge (machinists straight edge or a 4 foot level) and some cheap machinists squares and feeler gauges help with setup.
It's a pretty slick technique. If I had to make a bunch of tapered legs I would totally use this method again. It's really efficient if you have to make a lot.
It works fairly well. It's not ideal. I guess I could flip the wye around. That was probably just a D.A. moment when I was running the ducts. It does pull the chips away but that could be because it's the closest tool to the DC.
Is there any risk to running your edges through a jointer a second time? I ask this because I ran my pieces through the jointer two or three times already (i.e. face jointed then edge jointed). Afterwards I ran them through my thickness planer and ended up with ripping the last edge at my table saw. When I laid out the boards for a dry fit (i.e. I'm laminating them to make a table top) I noticed that a few of the boards had what appears to be a "not" flat surface. There were noticable gaps between a couple of the boards when I did a dry fit. I'm thinking of edge jointing a few of them a couple more times to flatten out the edges. I have a little wiggle room as it relates to width of the boards. Am I on the right track? Thanks for your consideration and ??reply. I am somewhat of a newbie, but perhaps not a total "novice". I wish I could include a picture of what I'm building but I don't think that's possible.
Nope. Not if you've got wiggle room. Make sure your jointer is setup correctly, make sure to look at the direction of the crown of the board. If the board has a crown place the crown up so the two ends of the board would reference the jointer table. You can also mark the edge you're going to joint with a pencil to make sure material is being removed along the entire edge
Just add a stop so that you end the tapering at the same point always, and you won’t need to remove the cover and all 4 sides Of your part will be equal vs eyeballing it.
I know another use, but wouldn't recommand it. You can create round cut outs in corners of boards by putting the edge of the board on the edge of the infeed table, a small way away from the corner of the board. Then tip the corner of the board into the cutterhead, pivoting around the edge of the infeed table. I''ve seen someone use this technique, but find it to dangerous to try myself.
Will, I am not with the safety police, but the idea of some newbie seeing that jointer used without the guard in place really frightens the sawdust out of me.
Good and informative video, Will. I expected you would demonstrate face jointing a board wider than the jointer using the feature you showed when making the rabbett. I have seen other RUclips makers demonstrate this method (Jay Bates has a good one) and I have done it myself with a sled of MDF.
I have not seen the tenon cutting. I'm intrigued. I assume you mean lap cuts in a ship lap situation along the grain and not traversing across the grain right?
That tapering technique is amazing!!!
This is good infor - thank you for sharing it. But I'd also like to say: your style of presentation is boss. You get straight to it - no wasted verbiage, no making your viewers wait - just fast and direct. And you illustrate these techniques with perfect clarity. My hat's off to you.
YES!
I haven't seen tapering done with that technique on a jointer before, very cool!
I've used a jointer for decades and never knew this tapering technique. Always something new to learn.
Great teaching style. No BS.
Good for you! Glad you talked about keeping downward pressure on the outfeed table and the tapering method. They aren't mentioned enough.
By far, the best educational video I've ever seen. Please keep them coming. I know the basics of woodworking but I still have a lot to learn. One area is how many uses certain tools have so I don't end up buying tools that take up space when there are other/better options.
I have subscribed!!
just acquired a jointer and had never seen the tapering or rabbeting operation performed on a jointer before. thanks for the knowledge!
Nice! I’ve never tried that tapering method, that’s the only good demonstration I’ve seen so I never really understood how that worked. I really need to fix my jointer so I can use it again.
I’m brand new at woodworking and he explained this in a way I could understand. The tapering is awesome.
That tapering idea was awesome. I've always wondered why my jointer goes above 1/8th of an inch in depth. That jointed edge was SO satisfying! Very nice!
hello..I made a safety guide after watching your video. Thank you for being an inspiration to me.
Really nice job on showing the chamfering!! Spot on!
The very best video I've seen so far on using a jointer. Great 1
That tapering technique is really slick-I'd never seen that before. Thanks for the tip!

Wow! High praise! Thank you for watching!
great content, clear message, good quality, very little fluff and no clutter. Well done!
Good tips, Will! Another good video. I never think about using my jointer for chamfering.
I've learned four different things that can do on the jointer now! Thanks for the tips William.
That taper trick is pretty slick!!!!
I don't know how i missed this one before! Thanks for sharing. That taper trick seemed like magic!
You're videos are so addictive! You give the best step by step and explanations. God bless!
I've never seen two of the five methods. Thank you. very interesting.
great video, you just saved me and my biddies a hell of alotta time. wicked.
That jointer is a proper beast!
I had missed this video. Very educational
Nicely and efficiently shared. Thank you... SUBSCRIBED
I had no idea you could taper on a jointer. Thanks for the tip. That’s awesome.
I just got a super old jointer, table saw and skill saw from the 50s-60s. I have no use for the jointer but it’s really cool. Was hoping this video would show me something I could and would do with a jointer. I guess I’ll just have it in my shop to look cool.
Great video! I might have to try the rabbeting with my jointer.
Good video! thanks for making it!
Great video mate, I learnt a lot from watching - never heard of either of the last 2 techniques!
great video, informative and strait foward, thumbs up !
Awesome video - always love seeing your name show up in my feed, but I found this very educational also. There were a couple of things I didn't realize a jointer could do. :) Cheers!
great concise video thank you!
love the tapering method. will definitely use that.
Really good info. Thank you 👍👍👍
Thanks for this. I actually never knew the jointer could chamfer. Not too many videos going into the capabilities you've shown here.
I have been using a jointed for years but it never occurred to me to use one for tapering. But it's very easy to screw up the depth of cut end-to-end by altering the pressure. So I would probably use this method to make a tapered sled to then run through the planer. Thanks!!!

Great ideas!!!!! I like these type of videos. I'd like to see more of them on different machines. 👍
Never saw that taper technique before, thanks!
No problem!
This was a great video with some useful tips, the taper was new to me, but what I think your really saying is "look at my sweet new jointer", so congratulations on the bad ass new jointer!
Nice! I needed to see the video thank you!
Excellent stuff Will. As with many others here, I've never actually seen that tapering method performed.
Awesome video! You gave me an idea to cut half lap on the end of the boards using your taper technique and finishing the curved side with a miter saw and chisel, unless you have an easier method. I’d love to know. Subscribed!
👍👍 tapering is new to me!
Thanks for the tips. I didn't know about the tapering technique.
Great job thank you for sharing. :)
Great anchor for sinking a body in the east river.
But seriously, the tapered leg trick is pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing that one.
A new jointer, NICE !
Totally forgot about cheese-grating...
Ha!
Hi Will, great video! I have the same jointer coming at the end of the month. I would have never thought to taper legs like that. I have a table project that I will be doing this summer and will give that a shot!
You're going to love it!
Great tips, thanks for shearing
Neat. I never thought of the taper trick. Thanks!
Okay that tapering trick is genius.
That tapering trick looks both awesome and terrifying at the same time!
It's a super handy trick. Especially for extra thick table legs
Thanks very well done,
Very informative, thanks. I am looking forward to Future videos.
I use my jointer for clipping my fingernails. Well, my fingernails and upper knuckles.
Katz-Moses Woodworking Shop I’ve heard jointers can be a really effective way of removing knuckles if that is the desired result. Thanks for the tip!
Who was it recently that happened to? Was it Jord from Jord's workshop?
Wm. Walker Co. Yeah I think so. Freaking scary reminder
Katz-Moses Woodworking Shop lmao I have done that maybe twice.
This comment didn't age well lol
Thanks,,, Great video
Nice video will! Thanks for sharing it with us.😎👍JP
Huh, pretty neat. Thank you for the tips.
I honestly never knew you could make a rabbit on a joiner. I’ll have to look at mine to tomorrow to see if I can on my machine.
fantastic!!
is there a way to do the tapering technique on stock wider than your jointer? I have 10x10" leg i want to do this with but only have an 8" jointer
woohoo! 101st comment! Thanks for the video! Never seen the taper method before. I'm refurbishing an 80s Delta planer and Craftsman 6" jointer planer to start up a shop using chainsaw milled wood. Really excited about the project.
Can someone please reply with the formula for calculating taper angle?
How can I save this video without downloading it? Is there a way to make a playlist?
Nerd!! Nice video, dude.
Sir, how do you align your infeed table to ensure flatness? Seems my stock pieces all come out with the side of the face closest to the fence with a curve after I joint them. Maybe it’s the blade?
I've got an older video that goes over jointer setup. A long straight edge (machinists straight edge or a 4 foot level) and some cheap machinists squares and feeler gauges help with setup.
I want to go start tapering things now.
I have never seen that tapering technique! I think I will stick with the bandsaw and then some cleanup work...
It's a pretty slick technique. If I had to make a bunch of tapered legs I would totally use this method again. It's really efficient if you have to make a lot.
but would they all be identical?
They should be if you cut them right and take time to lay them out identically.
I also use mine to grate really hard cheese, also to remove the rind from most any cheese quickly and easily.
How well does the dust collection work on that setup? It seems like the air has to make a 135 degree turn unless I'm seeing it wrong.
It works fairly well. It's not ideal. I guess I could flip the wye around. That was probably just a D.A. moment when I was running the ducts. It does pull the chips away but that could be because it's the closest tool to the DC.
muy interesante. Gracias

You're going to make me finally buy a jointer... Surprised at the affordability of that Grizzly...
Is this limba (frake) wood?
Just add a stop so that you end the tapering at the same point always, and you won’t need to remove the cover and all 4 sides Of your part will be equal vs eyeballing it.
May I cut a wood which is varnished?
I know another use, but wouldn't recommand it. You can create round cut outs in corners of boards by putting the edge of the board on the edge of the infeed table, a small way away from the corner of the board. Then tip the corner of the board into the cutterhead, pivoting around the edge of the infeed table. I''ve seen someone use this technique, but find it to dangerous to try myself.

I did shoot footage of that method but it didn't flow in the video.
Lap joints, tenon cuts
I have not seen the tenon cutting. I'm intrigued. I assume you mean lap cuts in a ship lap situation along the grain and not traversing across the grain right?
Excellent video but that is a goofy looking #7 and I think you have it upside down ;)
Best way to taper.
Rabbits eat carrots,, rebates are used for jointing
Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took Woodglut. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.
I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
