	Academy Notes & Tips


	From the Shopsmith Woodworking Academy Six easy steps to square a board


	4. With your Jointer set to remove 1/32-inch to 1/16-inch, true-up the freshly sawn edge of your stock.


	5. Now, using your Table Saw, crosscut one end of your stock. Don’t overdo it. Remove just enough to square-up this end.


	6. Measure your stock to your final dimension and crosscut the opposite end with your Table Saw.


	By carefully examining (and measuring, when possible) the lumber you buy, then following this 6-step procedure on all stock that’s even remotely suspect, you’ll save yourself a lot of hassles…and end up with far better results.
