I need your help! How on earth do you use a router table as a jointer? I decided just to field the question direct to you. I am in the market (sort of) for a jointer. I need a router table but I work in a wheelchair so I have challenge. I am a HUGE fan of Harvey Tools & Bridge City. Help me out and explain the router table /jointer function. BTW…. Did you check out the new Spider caster roll around. I have a tester on my Harvey Band saw. Yes it’s expensive but worth every penny for the Top of the line. Thank You VERY much!

It doesn't have the capacity to flatten a large 6" face. But it does joint board edges very well. I use a spiral up cut, .5 inch shank, 1.5 inch long bit. To use the table, I adjust the outfeed side microadjuster to the depth of cut I want to make. I then put a straight edge against the outfeed side fence and move the fence until it is coplaner with the cutter. I lock down the fence and start jointing. I've had my Harvey Router Table for about a year and have used it many times as a jointer. I feel like I have extreme precision control over the operation. I don't have the space for a jointer and don't feel I need one with this tool.
Can’t wait to buy one 😍😍
How much for the complete setup?
I am not interested in buying parts
Does Harvey offer the table in tin coating or the new nickel?

I know that the wwgoa channel did a full live stream of him explaining how to joint a board with a router table. Look there.
