You can run glass through a jointer?

- Peteybadboy

Honestly, you d have to be a moron to try something like that. Any idiot knows you do that on a table saw!

DUH

ive heard a track saw works pretty well on glass,the trick is to put the blade on backwards that way it doesn't bite in too aggressively !!!!

I've been using a laminate blade with a negative rake angle and getting pretty good results. I do still have partial vision in one eye, so I must be doing something right.

 

Messed up a little. Long story short I ended up with the right side opening 1/8 to small for the glass shelves.
Bringing the glass back to the shop and going to run them through the jointer a few times to shorten them up.

hmmm ill have to give that a try.im still getting a lot of chipping !

 

I did read that some place a long awhile ago. If you tape the glass and have it between something the table saw would cut the glass. I'll believe it when I see someone else do it first. I aint trying

 

Oh, it will cut it alright-just maybe not to the number of pieces you want.

It will still work, if you can flood it with water as you're cutting. Sorry, no reimbursement.

Good Luck, Keep a barrel of sawdust close by just in case, it should dry up the water.
(Wear Eye protection, very important.)

 

It will also absorb the blood.

Petey, Enjoy Napa.
If you get a chance, head over to Sonoma (Sonomo Plaza, look it up) about 25 min away
Lots of shopping and dining and tasting.

 

Ok will look up Sonoma plaza. I think I have walked it in the past. Some art shops? Some woodworking in those shops?

Not sure about the wood working.
I've been there 3 or 4 times.
Nice elegant dinner with friends once. (wish I could remember the restaurant.)
Wine tasting a few times with the wife.
Closed down a bar one night with old friends. (or maybe was just asked to leave) :>/

 

Starting a new job.
Replacing the doors on a kitchen with natural finished Maple slab doors.
Showing the backs laid out now.

 

I be watching LeeRoy, that looks like a good job you picked up.

Thanks, but it won't be much to follow. I'm just taking off the old doors and putting on new. Adding new end panels onto the finished ends. The kicks are Aluminum and the reveals are all tight so the cabinets won't be touched.
I'll also be doing a few other small jobs during the next few weeks.
I'll probably post a little about them but there not much either.

 

But it's work, just the same.

 

We gotta see up close pics of the doors and the grain now.
