    DIY Jointer

    Since another DIY machine was just posted here, I thought I'd add one that I just finished (almost).

    It's a 13" jointer with a Byrd Shelix cutterhead.

    More info on my website: Home Built 13" Jointer

    I sold a 6" Jet, and yes, this is a LOT bigger.

    That's an aircraft carrier!!! Very nice, Gerry.

    Edit: I just watched the video - please use push blocks on those small boards. Hate to see what happens if you slip on that monster of a jointer. Very smooth running jointer!

    Yeah, the short piece of walnut was borderline, and I'll probably never run a board that short across it again. I need to make some good push blocks when I build the fence and guard.

    Wow, fantastic job!

    It looks awesome, almost like you fitted in/out feed tables to K9! (Dr Who reference).

    cheers, Ian
    It's rumoured that everytime someone buys a TB6560 based board, an engineer cries!
