@thegreggys1 I've never had to pre-prep a board before straitening an edge at the jointer. Lumber preparation really begins at the lumber yard (where I buy mine). If you are careful and take your time when selecting lumber things can go easier in the shop. That said, I've never had trouble preparing lumber that is "not straight, warped/cupped at least least 1/8" and twisted enough to rock another 1/8"" as @pauleohl mentioned. Thanks for the comment.
Thx for making your video. Being a beginning woodworker I always appreciate any chance to learn and enforce previous learnings. I read the previous comments and the tone of pauleohl just seems slightly attacking.
Most of the big box store pine I buy needs a straight edge cut first using a jig before I can move to the jointer. I still struggle with what direction to joint and plane because sometimes it isnt obvious which direction the grain is going.
@pauleohl I am more than slightly vexed at how you came to the conclusion that your assertion was confirmed?? If you use the process I described and you still have most of the deficiencies from the rough-cut lumber, then you need to hang it up; woodworking might not be for you.
You have confirmed my assertion. The jointer-planer can make the board smaller and smoother, but yields a board with most, if not all all, of the deficiencies of the rough cut, even if there is enough meat in the rough cut to yield the board that you need.
@pauleohl If you are unable to flatten a rough-cut board following the procedure I outlined then you need to re-examine your lumber selection process and/or find a better lumber yard.
I would like to see you use the jointer planer to make a prismatic board starting with a rough sawn board that is not sraight, warped/cupped at least 1/8" and twisted enough to rock another 1/8"..
You assert that you can run one edge through the jointer and it comes out straight. Show us that the board is not straight with a straight-edge and then show us that it comes off the jointer straight,
Now show us that the warped and twisted board leaves the planer flat.
