Slab Flattening with Planer

There are a few ways you can flatten a slab of wood. I have a live edge piece of birch that is too wide for my jointer but narrow enough to fit in my planer. I show you how I flatten a slab with just the planer.

I have the same set up, know exactly what to do but still enjoy your videos. As always, great job!

[@AlaskaWorkshop]

Thank you, appreciate you taking time out to comment!

Good job! Thanks. I guess I've always tried to send boards that were too long to have it work well.

great but very smart

Shouldn't the set up go cleat forward since the rollers are pulling on the board and not on the melamine?

The cleat is for the cutter head. It rotates in the opposite direction as the feed.
