1.25" Bed is plenty long It looks shorter because of the other stuff in the pic. 12' Cherry, right around 8' long jointer beds. Makes me look smaller too

The jointer bed looks to be a good size from that angle. What kind of final thickness are you shooting for ?

Working on a cherry bartop. Ordered around 250bf of 6/4. This is some planer action

Thanks!

Perfect description woodenskye 10points to you.. I'm out now , so I'll post a picture up later with some wood under it .

The shoe is generally placed near the end of the slider, and when doing a rip you slide the wood to the shoe and it acts like a clamp, to hold the board down as you cut. If you look at the picture, the angle allows for different thickness of stock.

Can you show a pic, when you have time, on how the shoe works? Having trouble picturing that.

The clamp & shoe turned up while I was away driving a truck to the UK . Also the proper wheel kit for the FB600.

Wow that is one odd looking blade!

The blades have arrived. In the 2nd picture you can see the long tooth to keep the cut clear, it's not the blade I ordered but I'll give it a test out anyway , has anyone here used them before ? It's minus 17c at the moment so I'm not going out to the workshop today, it's going to be plus 9c by Tuesday .

Awesome!!
