Thicknessing edges and glued joints

mercredi 26 mars 2014

Oh learned ones ... Having read a fair amount about techniques to dress timber, two questions have been plaguing me.



1. Having dressed the first edge (and face) of a board on my jointer - why is it most people suggest that the opposite edge is made on a table saw rather than a thicknesser ? If ones thicknesser is able to take the edge, and the width is stable enough not to rock ... why would this be ? Or am I misinterpreting ...



2. I also wonder why it seems that most suggestions for glued joints is to scrape/chisel excess glue rather than send through thicknesser (assuming your thicknesser has the throat to swallow the width).



I haven't seen anything written that says "don't do this because ..." - but it just seems to be conventional wisdom ...
