Hi Jordan,

Thank you for the question, here is the experts reply:

Yes, this would work fine for 1/2″ or 3/4″ stock.

My understanding is that you shouldnt try to run anything more than twice the length of the table through the jointer as it will be unable to find longer curvatures and you’ll have the same problems as trying to plane a warped board.

Bruce,
Just guessing what Paul’s intentions were here but, I figured he is planning on a 4′ x 7′ table. Sure, 14′ lengths would likely be too long for an 8″ jointer, but would 7 ft lengths also be too long? I’m a newbie. . . Is there a rule of thumb to determine max board length for a particular jointer bed?
Secondly, I also figured he was only talking about jointing edges and he would be hand planing to flat face the 24″ faces.. . good assumption?

Hi Bruce. Yes, we have a couple resources on the WWGOA site that discuss this. If you search for “jointing with a router” you will find at least one article and one video on this.
Thanks

I am going to make a large dining table and I have been worried about how I would be able to pass the boards through my 8” jointer. Is this router method the preferred way for me to join the 2 boards?

Maybe it’s because I never quite understood how to do it the other way, and yet to get it to work.

Yes. Anything that’s good and straight will work.
