I'm very frustrated right now. I have a planer/jointer it's not very long maybe 3 or 4 feet. The wood was just slightly bowed. I picked the side that is most straight to plane but the more I run it through the more bowed it becomes.
I don't understand the concept of the jointer/planer. I understand the concept of the planer it's very simple. You have one straight side (the bottom) and it reduces the top surface until it's the same as the bottom. But I can't reason out the jointer/planer. Can someone explain it to me? It seems no matter how I run the wood through as soon as it starts cutting I know by the sound that it's cutting at the wrong spot.
