I'm in need of some help. I have just started woodworking. When i go
to run the stock on the jointer the last inch of the stock gets cut
deeper than the rest of the board. Am i applying pressure wrong or
what? Also i bought yellow pine at home depot not in the rough to
build a mock up. is that going to be hard for me to work with
compared to another type of wood?
Hello Tideman,
A few questions and comments;
Have you determined if the outfeed table of your jointer is on the
same plane as the blades of your cutterhead? If so, when you push
stock across the table do you always push with pressure over the
infeed table? I use a little infeed table pressure to get started and
then try to use only outfeed table pressure and pushing from the back
side. This way I won't cause the board to dip down at the rear as I
cross the cutters.
If the blades are not in the same plane as the outfeed table you must
align them by adjusting the table (if possible) or resetting the
blades.
With regard to Yellow Pine, it will be harder to drill and screw than
white pine or poplar but it should machine up well with any decent
power tool and a good blade.
Are you building a full size mock-up? What are you making?

Thanks for resonding, i thought i was putting to much pressure on the
infeed table so i did what you said, put all pressure on outfeed after
the board is on the outfeed table. Yes i am building a full size so i
can work out any problems i come across. im building a tv stand.
