How To Set Up and Use a Jointer with 19000 FPS Slow Mo Footage

Today we’re talking about how to use and set up a woodworking jointer as well as overcoming common jointing problems. I use 19000 FPs slow motion footage from the Phantom v2640 to demonstrate how it works and how to joint a board properly. I really can’t wait to see what you create! Let me know what you’d like to see next. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

Thank you for a great video 👍🏼
I think the European fence guard a better, they really keep you hands away from the cutter.

[josephhamilton]

Sir, Thank You. Always a great resource.

[ltlima]

To be honest, I don't understand why I should have one of those instead of a planner, or why have both. Did you make any video talking about this?

[GregoryMichaelT]

I’m confused. The video title How to SET UP and use jointer. I don’t see anything talking about how to set it up

[bryanholst]

“Do your jointing at night”... dad jokes for the win!

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.

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.

[AnthonyRose]

Jonathan, I am seriously really super enjoying this series. That is all.

It's funny, US "high power" is 220v, compared to the 110 you use. While the rest of our normal stuff in the EU is 220, and my jointer runs on 380. For a country that prides itself in "POWER/BIG"-things, the US powergrid seems to be on the weak side :p

No offence to anyone intended, if you want "more power" for any machine, just keep it in tip-top condition and use sharp blades, then motor power should never be an issue.

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.

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.

[jcarlin]

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?

[philippthecat]

For some strange reason YT decided to show me this 4 month old video a day after the accident video

[darryl]

I don't even own a jointer, I'm here for those 19, 000 fps.

[mmmkayok]

I do all my joints at night... no sunlight.

[Gma_likes_bacon]

Well I chocked on my lunch with the "joint at night"

[brando]

safety is a concern aswell. people dont really see jointers as dangerous as saws, but after seeing the perkins builder brothers accident, i have a renewed respect for jointers. spiral cutter head powermattic 8" took 4 fingers down to last segment.

[johnm]

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!

[chestnut]

"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!

[BradsWorkbench]

And if u buy an old jointer that doesnt have an outfeed adjustment.... god help u when you change knives 🤣
