What happens here
The jointer (Ridgid 6-inch) is introduced as a key tool for preparing rough-sawn hardwoods by flattening one face and one edge. It is positioned against a wall that opens to the outside of the garage, allowing for long boards to be fed through without obstruction. He notes that while larger 8-inch or 10-inch jointers are ideal, they are significantly more expensive. The current setup is effective for his needs.
Goal: Prepare rough-sawn lumber by creating flat and square surfaces.
