I know this has been hashed out many times over, I just wanted to ask with out causing to much of an uproar.
I work with a lot of highly figured woods, very hard and difficult grains. I'm tired of tearout. I'm also tired of the very hard woods nicking the blades and then I end up with a line in the wood that has to be sanded out and the blades shifted a little.
(I know I will never get away from sanding.)
If I switch to a spiral head for a jointer, will this eliminate all my tearout, or just help a little?
thanks,
Brian
