I have a moderate length (39") of 3/4" x 2-3/8" pine that has a significant curve to that I want to straighten using my router table as a jointer.
My router table fence is split so I can bring the outfeed side out as needed in small increments, which I've done before. But, I have never tried it with as much curvature as this board has. I want to end up with a exactly 2" wide board after jointing/planing. There is about 3/16" of material to be able to remove from each side, from the middle on the convex side and from the ends on the concave side. After I get one side straight, I can run the other side through my table saw if that leaves enough stock for planing.
Does it matter which side I start with first?
Thanks,
Rick
