Been a woodworker for 30 years I've had mine for 20 years and never used it lol Now that I bought a sawmill trying to figure it out. Thanks for the tips. So far the best video I have found.
Hands down the best jointer technique tutorial I’ve seen in many years of woodworking. Thanks Jonathan for the obvious amount of work it took to produce this.
My $500 used Powermatic now joints perfectly thanks to your simple instructions. I've been very frustrated with my purchase so thank yo SO much for this extremely valuable and simple instructions!
"Do your jointing at night...", that was a good one! Absolutely LOVE your videos. Clear, well spoken, and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you Jonathan Katz-Moses!
Your explanation on setting up the jointer is simple and makes so much sense. There are too many complicated videos out there that only confuses further.
Oh hell yes! I spent hours at my cabinet maker's shop planing hardwood by hand. They asked, "why don't you just use the jointer?" I wanted to do it by hand, but once I used the jointer... Mind blown. Stuff that would take me hours was done in a minute flat. They're amazing machines. Thanks for this!
For everyone who is wondering why he is focused so much on safety. Go to the Perkins brothers builders channel and watch some of their videos about Jamie and his accident. Nothing graphic (on video that is. In real life it would have been very graphic) but it is the worst way to be reminded that the tools dont care about you so you need to think before you turn your back to a power tool that is running.
I just learned more from your 10 minute video than from the total of hours watching others run stock through a jointer. Clear, concise instruction, with built in troubleshooting. NICE!
This is still an outstanding explanation, I was having real issues concaving my lumber, I realise now it’s not my setup all adjustments made, my budget machine struggles with a somewhat flimsy in-feed table new technique and all is good.
Jonathan, you are establishing your work as THE spot for the best information on Woodworking, saves me from looking across the web. Looking forward to what's next.
15 and in school for basic carpentry, ur videos are awesome my teacher uses them and I watch them on my free time, amazing quality videos, super in depth, and all around a really great channel.
pouting pressure on the out feed side and not the in feed side makes so much sense. i got a little bit of curve in the last boards i jointed i thought it might have been my set up but now i will pay attention to my pressure, i think that will fix it. great tip and one i haven't seen before
Just bought a Jet 8 inch helical head jointer. Am really looking forward to using it. Used to have a bench top jointer and although it was good it was time to upgrade to the bigger machine. Thanks for the tutorial so that I can maximize my productivity.
Jointer and table saw; the two machines I have the most respect for in the workshop, if anything goes wrong it'll happen so fast you wont have time to react. Great vid as always.
Thank you for breaking it down to something we can all understand. I have dealt with uneven results and snipe for a long time on a Jet Planer/Jointer, a tool that is apparently "great to own". I actually love and appreciate all your videos.
Seriously you are the only person I’ve seen teach that twist tip. I’ve fought myself so much over twists and thought my tool or myself was the issue. I’ve even taken classes at maker spaces. No one mentions this. I will definitely be trying that out. Ty.
First two tools I bought, was a table saw, then a jointer, then I added a planer shortly after. Those, in my opinion, are the three most important things, to be able to mill rough sawn lumber, and ultimately the most important things to start any project.
Sorry for your accident. You did get off lucky and this is an easy and important lesson for you and your viewers. Woodworking is a hazardous trade and even more hazardous hobby. It scares the hell out of me thinking of untrained people using this equipment and not being aware of the dangers and how to avoid them. That’s where these kinds of videos are important I was taught as an apprentice in the wood trades to never touch the infeed table and not to drag a finger or hand behind the board along the infeed table. It’s not always so easy to use push sticks or blocks on all pieces but best when possible so we all use our hands at times. Anyways, I hope you heal well and get back on the horse. Thanks for sharing.
I was seriously struggling with bends in longer pieces on my small bench top jointer and you just fixed that for me. This series is amazing, please keep them coming!
Push pads are a good idea. When I was an apprentice the installation manager came to the jobsite and told us the senior shop guy, (super talented, made his own mandolins, guitars and stuff), jointed his index and middle finger off his right hand. I was young, I asked if they were able to reattach his fingers. The boss said there was nothing left to reattach. Absolute hamburger. It happened late on a Friday afternoon. He was in a hurry and wasn't paying attention. Expensive lesson.
Hey JKM, I have been struggling with my little jointer for some time. I've watched many RUclips videos, but no one ever got through my thick skull with an explanation that I could understand. What a great job. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Stay safe.
I’m one of many who purchased your new apron. I’m from U.K. and I’m delighted with it. It’s the perfect apron. Thank you very much for your design of aprons as well as great RUclips vids which I obviously subscribe to. 🍻
Thank you! This advice is different from every other tutorial I've seen as far as where the pressure should go. The other ones I found all recommend pressure on both sides evenly. Just tried it your way and it fixed the problems I've had for years. Always had to finish with a hand plane before.
I've been using my jointer wrong for years. I've wondered why sometimes it takes forever (and a lot of material) to get flat edge and occasionally a face. Somehow I missed out on the instruction that said always put the pressure on the out-feed. TIL and thanks Jonathan!
I have been using mine wrong for years too. Glad to hear I am not the only one! I will try doing it the right way next time. Don’t know how I could have missed this for so long.
Great content! Can’t get enough of the slow motion videos, it really helps with understanding what the tools are doing! By the way my apron came in and already getting put to use! Great product!
I want to commend you on your skillset and teaching ability. your videos are always well thought out, and very informative. The slowmo shots are well composed, and offer a great aid to your lesson
I joint my boards at night….so I can…so I can. Sorry that made me sing a little. Thanks for the great tips..just bought a new 10” jointer..I’m so pumped. Love your videos brother and making pizza with your little e girl. Very cool.
Wish you had shown what happens when you push the workpiece through the wrong way relative to the grain. Thanks for all the great high speed videos. Glad you could get the use of such an expensive piece of equipment.
Hey man love your channel. I've had my jointer for a while now but haven't been able to figure it out. After watching this video and fixing my set up I had one of my best nights in the shop. It is so satisfying to get flat stock! Thanks for putting this out there and keep up the great work!
This was a great instructional video. Thank you. I was practicing with a jointer that was leant to me and was not putting pressure on the outfeed side and getting that arch you talked about.
Thanks for this video. I recently purchased a jointer and planer, and I have been having trouble with the weight transfer on the jointer. Hopefully with your video, I will finally get it right.
Jonathan, I see in the slow-mo clip, your push pads are slipping on the board surface. I don’t know if this works with every brand, but mine I have improved by cutting a grid of slits with a razor blade.... kinda like adding sipes to a tire for improved traction.
thank you Katz-Moses . my son loved his shop apron thank you . also if you have cataracts all things look flat man 1 more week and its back in the shop and fix all my uh well . loved the night thing cats same thing lol
Jonathan, This series is awesome! Mixing tech with woodworking (the 19000fps) is dope! OH! AND Ive been loving my new Katz-Moses apron! It came in last week and I was like a little kid at Christmas when unwrapping it and checking it out. Im not big on wearing others logos. But this apron is worn with pride! quality gear for sure!
This is very useful to me. I just picked up a used 16" jointer planer unit and am having trouble getting straight cuts, it always seems to take more off the infeed side than the outfeed, making a wedge shaped board. No manual is available online for my unit, so I'll be in my shop playing around right after this.
After this, if you still think its not right. Peter Parfit has a video on you tube in how to set up a planner. It's a long one but very very useful. I bought a used one which turned out to be way out. Its now perfect 👌
Kevin, either your outfeed table is set higher than the cutting circle (which could also be checked by the method JKM shows with a straightedge), or nicks in the knives are leaving “whiskers” that give that effect. This condition would not be noticed by most methods of checking tangency. As the cut progresses, the wood keeps climbing onto the outfeed table, until no more wood to cut. A practical method for setting the outfeed height that will accommodate both situations is to first set the outfeed table intentionally too low, and then take a partial test cut with a stick that is already reasonably straight. When enough cut has been made to hang the stick over the outfeed table, shut off and raise the table to meet the wood. You will be able to detect when the leading end just barely drags on the table if you swivel the stick around a little, like checking two edges for a spring joint.
around 7:00 you were talking about high and low spots and where to hold pressure on the board. I usually look at it as balance between high and low on the table to not remove too much on the corners making the board too thin. In other words keep it as stable as possible between the points laying on the table. I don't so much as push down as I keep it from coming up off the cutter. I see many people pushing the wood down hard on the table to "flatten" the board and then wonder why the twist or bow is still there. That is why planers do not remove twists and bows. Most of my force is to move the wood forward and not down to the table.
Yes, find a happy medium, if I understand it correctly, both technics will produce a flat board but one will remove more material overall after thickness planing.
Hi Jonathan. Another great video. I'm really enjoying the apron that I purchased from you, it's fantastic. I've found that the top center pouch is absolutely perfect for my cell phone to sit in and be handy and heard ! Thanks for a great channel sir.
I aim for “flat enough” on the jointer. There might be the slightest twist remaining. Or the surface might be rougher than I want. Then, for precision work I move to winding sticks, pencil lines, and a finely tuned hand plane. Flat and smooth.
that's the best jointer in action slow motion shot I've seen to date I think it would do very well on some digital imaging selling platforms as a generic video of how the jointer works, but then you'd grant your copyrights and permission to use to anyone who purchases it, so not sure if it's worth it
Hi, in the video at 6.50, you mentioned about transferring pressure to the low corners but in the video I see the pressure is applied to the 2 high corners. Could you help me understand whether you apply pressure as per the video, i.e. 2 high corners or it should be applied to the 2 low corners? Thanks.
It looked like when you were jointing the twisted board you put pressure on the high corners right after saying to put pressure on the low corners. Am I nuts?
Hi Jonathan. I followed your advise. Unscrewed my box for the mobile miter station and adding glue. So thank you for that tip. I am new to woodworking and I often hear you don’t joint multiple sides. You joint one side and then use that flat side to reference on the planner. Why is that? If you only have a jointer couldn’t you joint all the side? Or possibly joint two sides and complete milling on a table saw? Damian
Good video!!! Loved the slow motion frames! I have planer/thicknesser very handy and I am having good results using it ( it is very basic one ) I don't have a shop and it is a very noisy tool, so I started use hand planning, love my no 4, 5 and 6 maybe it's slower but much more satisfying using them - and you have great part in it so thanks!
Idk I think id rather use that $350 plane you showed at the beginning, my shop is super small (think sqft of a bathtub) so I have very limited power tools. Ive used jointers in the past and don't really like them because of how dangerous they can be. This was a great instructional though and I know from personal experience using someone else's table saw and getting kick back because he didn't know how to set it up that if I use someone else's to check the set up amd now I know how, so thanks for that. Plus I plan on using a cheap electric hand plane and building a very small jointer to help with some things and in a couple areas and im sure that set up on that will be the same as set up on a store bought jointer. Oh and I am loving the high frame rate slow-mo instructionals so nice to see how the tool is doing its job while having easiest and best ways to help the tool do its job explained to me.
I am getting minutely convex edges when I joint stock on my 12" long bed jointer. I have confirmed that the tables are flat and coplanar. The only setup problem I can detect is that the knives may be set a little too much higher than the outfeed table than what I normally aim for (.001-.002"). Can this improper knife height cause convex jointed edges? Thanks.
Hi Jonathan. I had to go back and find this video. I’m getting snipe on my project. It got better with your advice but it’s still a little wavy. Any ideas? I’m making my daughter in law a gear stand. They’re both in Great Falls in the USAF.

I'm jointing right now 😆 🤣

Always amazed when you get to see power tools in slow motion....so cool. Thanks for recording.
The best video on how to use a jointer I have seen. And the slow mo is super cool
I was seriously struggling with bends in longer pieces on my small bench top jointer and you just fixed that for me. This series is amazing, please keep them coming!
One of if not the best explained video's Ive watched. Thanks Pal for sharing.
A jointer is my next item for the shop. Thanks for the introduction to jointing.

Love the slow mo. This gives a great perspective on what is happening when squaring wood. Love the content!
Loved the no sun at night joke. Made me chuckle 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! This advice is different from every other tutorial I've seen as far as where the pressure should go. The other ones I found all recommend pressure on both sides evenly. Just tried it your way and it fixed the problems I've had for years. Always had to finish with a hand plane before.

As mentioned in an earlier post I am really enjoying this video series. I am learning so much more about working with tools and how to work safely
I got my apron earlier this week delivered to Oz and I am rapt Great product been wearing it every day Yahoo well done just love it
Great content! Can’t get enough of the slow motion videos, it really helps with understanding what the tools are doing! By the way my apron came in and already getting put to use! Great product!

Digging that helical setup! Thanks for the JKM insights as well. It's always good to review your approach.
Wish you had shown what happens when you push the workpiece through the wrong way relative to the grain. Thanks for all the great high speed videos. Glad you could get the use of such an expensive piece of equipment.

That's awesome to hear my friend
Thanks. I've got an old Milwaukee cast iron jointer. Time to go tinker with it. Really easy useful video
This was a great instructional video. Thank you. I was practicing with a jointer that was leant to me and was not putting pressure on the outfeed side and getting that arch you talked about.
Really like your videos , almost as much as the apron I ordered from you ! I urge all your subscribers to get one , they are worth the money ‼😁
Thanks bud!
+1 for the apron. Top quality! And left-handed!
Thanks for this video. I recently purchased a jointer and planer, and I have been having trouble with the weight transfer on the jointer. Hopefully with your video, I will finally get it right.
Great tips. Explains the issues I had with my last hard wood project I did. Couldn’t figure out what I did wrong. Now I know. Thank you sir

thank you Katz-Moses . my son loved his shop apron thank you . also if you have cataracts all things look flat man 1 more week and its back in the shop and fix all my uh well . loved the night thing cats same thing lol
Great instruction. Should receive my new jointer today, and will use your techniques to learn the machine.
Thank you so much for this video,. Ive been putting off projects because I couldn't properly setup/use my jointer.
Thanks for the effort with the slowmo, that was really instructive.
Jonathan, This series is awesome! Mixing tech with woodworking (the 19000fps) is dope! OH! AND Ive been loving my new Katz-Moses apron!

One of your best tutorials Jonathon, those slowmo shots have been simply amazing. Thanks for the high quality content.
Didn’t know I was using my planer/jointer the wrong way! Thanks Jonathan
My apron finally showed up!
It's awesome!

Its not the short bed jet is it?
Kevin, either your outfeed table is set higher than the cutting circle (which could also be checked by the method JKM shows with a straightedge), or nicks in the knives are leaving “whiskers” that give that effect. This condition would not be noticed by most methods of checking tangency. As the cut progresses, the wood keeps climbing onto the outfeed table, until no more wood to cut.
A practical method for setting the outfeed height that will accommodate both situations is to first set the outfeed table intentionally too low, and then take a partial test cut with a stick that is already reasonably straight. When enough cut has been made to hang the stick over the outfeed table, shut off and raise the table to meet the wood. You will be able to detect when the leading end just barely drags on the table if you swivel the stick around a little, like checking two edges for a spring joint.
Love the slow mo! Hope there’s still more coming.
Thank you for all your great videos! I’ve been learning so much from you. I really appreciate it a lot
Fantastic tips, Jonathan! Thanks a lot! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
around 7:00 you were talking about high and low spots and where to hold pressure on the board. I usually look at it as balance between high and low on the table to not remove too much on the corners making the board too thin.

Great video! Very useful information for the future when I get a jointer.
Hi Jonathan. Another great video. I'm really enjoying the apron that I purchased from you, it's fantastic. I've found that the top center pouch is absolutely perfect for my cell phone to sit in and be handy and heard ! Thanks for a great channel sir.
Wow I was using my shop fox jointer all wrong!!! Ty for that valuable information!!!
Excellent video thanks for sharing have a blessed day
I have more fun learning here instead of college... Love your work!
Excellent video and explanation. Thank you for posting.
I aim for “flat enough” on the jointer. There might be the slightest twist remaining. Or the surface might be rougher than I want. Then, for precision work I move to winding sticks, pencil lines, and a finely tuned hand plane. Flat and smooth.
that's the best jointer in action slow motion shot I've seen to date
I think it would do very well on some digital imaging selling platforms as a generic video of how the jointer works, but then you'd grant your copyrights and permission to use to anyone who purchases it, so not sure if it's worth it
Hi, in the video at 6.50, you mentioned about transferring pressure to the low corners but in the video I see the pressure is applied to the 2 high corners.

Amazing vid! Thanks for taking the effort and sharing. Precious time.
You are a amazing teacher👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you for the upload. Could you please make a video about how to flatten long,twisted boards?
That sunlight joke earned my subscription click.
Good Job JKM... very much enjoyed the vid!
Excellent points, thank you for the simple explanation.
Thank you so much one of the perfect demos
It looked like when you were jointing the twisted board you put pressure on the high corners right after saying to put pressure on the low corners. Am I nuts?
Hi Jonathan. I followed your advise. Unscrewed my box for the mobile miter station and adding glue. So thank you for that tip.
I am new to woodworking and I often hear you don’t joint multiple sides. You joint one side and then use that flat side to reference on the planner. Why is that? If you only have a jointer couldn’t you joint all the side? Or possibly joint two sides and complete milling on a table saw?

Thank you for a great video 👍🏼
I think the European fence guard a better, they really keep you hands away from the cutter.
Sir, Thank You. Always a great resource.
Great video as always! Thank you!
Nice explanation and shots
Thanks for sharing that, well said!
Idk I think id rather use that $350 plane you showed at the beginning, my shop is super small (think sqft of a bathtub) so I have very limited power tools. Ive used jointers in the past and don't really like them because of how dangerous they can be. This was a great instructional though and I know from personal experience using someone else's table saw and getting kick back because he didn't know how to set it up that if I use someone else's to check the set up amd now I know how, so thanks for that.

Do you think the in-feed and out-feed tables should set to be parallel to each other ?
Great video
Moishe how do you like the carbide cutters on the jet ?? am looking at the grizz 8 in helix carbide , My jointer is 33 yrs old.
Hi Jonathan. I had to go back and find this video. I’m getting snipe on my project. It got better with your advice but it’s still a little wavy. Any ideas? I’m making my daughter in law a gear stand. They’re both in Great Falls in the USAF.
That was a very well done video
Thanks for the info Jonathan! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
