Curious about using an electric jointer for end grain as a possible
easiest solution for flattening a triple joint assembly. All made of
doug fir 4x4, as the ascII diagram below:
| | | |
| | | |
| | this assembly down on the | |
| | jointer | |
| | | |
| | ----------------------------------| |
| | <- grain for this piece-> | |
|___ |______________________ |____|
\ end grain \ end grain
blade
_______________/__________________ <-- jointer table
Anyone know if this would be successful without destroying the
end grain? I have no experience and it something I have already built.
TIA for any advice,

Think I'd try a straight bit in a router with a guide bushing or bearing
and placing the piece between two sacrificial backer boards. Would also
recommend climb cutting the far end grain piece. Jointer might work with a
backer board, but that is purely speculation. You might try a test piece
first.

You can't chip out what isn't there, and you don't need to get that
complicated. Take a block plane and chamfer what will end up as the
trailing corner and run the piece. As long as your chamfer is at or below
the depth of cut on the trailing edge, you're good.

You can joint end-grain on a jointer, but there's a bit of a trick involved.
You don't want to simply run it across the jointer because it will tear out.
So, what I do, is I run it across the jointer just far enough to cover the
first section of end-grain. Remove the piece and rotate so that you're
jointing from the other end. Then, you can complete the job. This will
prevent the end grain from tearing out because when you're finishing up the
cut, the trailing section of end-grain was already jointed and will ride
just above the cutters as you're finishing up the cut. Does this make
sense? It's easy to do, but harder to explain.
I learned this from a class at NWS that Christian Becksvoort taught and this
is the technique he used to square up and fit the rail-stile doors on his
shaker clock.

OK those are some good suggestions, thank you. Can't buy the machine
though, as I live in an apartment and go to the local adult ed. woodshop.
I have mini drill press and band saw, which I currently never use.

The trick here is to feed part way in one direction about 1-2" then flip
ends and go all the way through.
Understood!

To further add to what the thing is... going down on the jointer
is the the top* of the trestle leg set for my bench. Greatly and
mysteriously "a-la Bob keys" in design. The point is to get these
tops perfectly flat the easiest way possible. Would it work?

That's excellent, that makes perfect sense. I could do 95% of the distance and
then turn it around, and the end edge would not chip off drastically. This way
I will not need to mess with clamping blocks on the end corners. That's great,
thanks for the perfect suggestion. Just steadying that last 5% heading to the
blade will be hard on my [very bad] back, these things are heavy.

NO!!!!!
Do not go 95% of the way on the first pass. Go a couple of inches then turn
around and run through again. If you go 95% to begin with you have to
balance the 5% nub.

I want to understand, but I don't think you used a non-proportional font
for the diagram.
Is it anything that a well-fettled block plane couldn't take care of?
(I know I know, I've been smoothing the ends of some doug fir 4x4's
myself and it aint easy (especially straddling the workpiece on the top
of a 8x10x16 that is my "bench" until I finish this project (also an
interim bench))... but it's neander!)
More parentheticals as they are warranted.
