Paste wax applied with a rag is what we used in our cabinet shop to lubricate and protect metal surfaces such as table saws and jointers. It really makes a difference in reducing friction and prevents rust. Should your table get rust on it, the green Scotch bright pads are awesome for polishing it back up quickly.
You're super smart. I love the work, and I was smiling during the entire video. =) You could be designing power tools professionally with the brains you've got. I can't wait to see some of your other videos. Keep up the fantastic work!
Excellent little invention. Might I suggest that you make some sort of fully adjustable automatic "motorized" feed mechanism with some soft rubber rollers, skate board wheel, roller blade wheel what have you, that feed the wood in and keeps it steady so you don't have to reach in over the actual blade. If your electric motor is powerful enough you could leach some power of that to drive a shaft turning some roller blade wheel. You could make easy to put on and take off if you're doing uprights.
A bit confused here, why use a jointer to flatten such a wide board? Why not run it through a planer (even an inexpensive one), then run the edges through a jointer as necessary to square them up?
@frugalaudio Won't work if the stock is out of parallel - you have to joint a reference surface first - then plane. Big planer rollers or dual heads will force warped stock flat -and it'll just spring back when it come out - you'll have thinner warped stock instead of one flat reference side.

I followed and watched all his works are very useful, showing great knowledge of both working with wood, as the machine to work. I have taken some of his ideas as the meeting amateur carpenter and copies of these ideas on the web whether modified or not, which is generally known source. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Well, I am even more convinced your approach is not safe. To quote your article: " Four long wood screws secure the block to the frame. I was rather paranoid that at some point, the bearing blocks might let go and that the cutter head would somehow come flying out of the jointer. ".
Is it really so clever? Why take the cutter head and motor from a (working?) planer which was presumably made of cast iron. For safety I would definitely prefer the cast iron version. ricande's comment below is worthy of some serious thought.
Your woodworking skills implemented into machinery designs is extraordinaire,should We start calling You Professor Wandel ?lol , just kidding Mathias .Your skills are great,and I love how You display them in Your videos,I am still waiting to see if You come up with a all wood 3-axis mill/lathe??? I believe It would take a project that You are interested in before You make the tool that makes it easier? thanks again for the video,Tim
Im interested in your depth of cut device... do you think it could be used to adjust a hand held planer so it could be used as an mini thickness planer? It may seem silly to want to plane peices less than four inches wide, but i find myself making small moldings in the field. This seems like it would do the trick. I'll have to try it out. Any recomondations on ratios? I'd like to have a range from 1/4" to 1-1/2". Thanks for the idea.
Nice job. Every 12" jointer that I have seen has a three knife cutter head. How do you feel the two knives perform; smooth cut? Not a bad way to recycle a planer.
@GarageWoodworks manufactured 12 in cutterhead is designed to be turned at a much slower speed.. his little motor is very fast so cuts per inch at given feed rate are similar..
Matthias, you crazy Canadian.... I don't know ANYONE else that would make their own power tools. Except maybe me. Thanks for putting your instructions all online!
During times like the summer you should be careful with the potential expanding of the metal surface, it would be a nasty mess if it hit that cutter blade.
@21BDP21 He's already got a homemade lathe, but he hardly ever finds a need for turning wood, so the lathe is more or less just another storage shelf in his shop. Homemade drill press meanwhile, I can possibly see it, but ONLY if his current cheap, store-bought one starts being inadequate due to his size. I can see possibly the board lamination method used to build the frame of his 2nd bandsaw design providing enough rigidity. That's the big thing I believe with a drill press, rigidity.
Innovative thinking and outstanding craftsmanship as always! You are a modern-day master my friend. In the days of old, you would have a very long line of apprentices from far and wide wanting to learn from you directly.
Matt, yet again you raise the bar for me like me wanting to do this kind of work differently. I will be building this one way or another. Oh hell yes. :D
It looks good, Matthias, and seems to work well. What's the heaviest, widest cut you've tried with it so far? Any kind of depth gauge or a table setting lock in the future?
@ydborg It makes sense to not have the motor on the side you're doing work on. In the video at about 4:20 he mentions it prevents putting a rabbet ledge on that side.
@Matthiaswandel Have I missed it, or am I correct in my shock that you have no woodworking projects posted involving an Arduino or other microcontroller?
Great video, TFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm wondering if the beds may warp in time if both sides aren't laminated equally. It may with the temperture of the different materials.
