Edge jointing using a router | Mere Mini

For the Shop, How To

If you want to use solid lumber for a woodworking project, it is often necessary to join boards together to make wide panels. In order for the edges to glue together properly, they need to be square. To do this, you need to “joint” the edges. I prefer using the term “square up the edges” which is more descriptive.

This procedure is simple if you have a dedicated jointer, but you can get the same results with a router.Here’s how.
