You simply put the bow opposite the guide and cut it off. Flip the board to cut it parallel. My thickness planner can raise up 6" and since I have a true and square edge, I run the board perpendicular to plane the edges. I have a 90 deg guide which I clamp to to the infeed table to help keep the wood at 90 deg. I can also take several boards and run them through at the same time clamped or bolted together on the ends. For jointing, I use a straight guide on my saw which is 2x longer than the lumber.

I have some additional ideas. I have no jointer, just a radial arm saw and thickness planner. I like your idea of using hot glue on a sled... What I have done to flatten bowed lumber on my planner is to simply turn the height adjustment on the first couple passes to compensate for the bow: 1. plane the lumber so it sits mostly flat. It will still have a bow. 2. use a long stright edge to find the top of the bow. Determine how much to remove to make the surface flat and mark it on the surface. 3. as the board passes through the planner, crank the height adjustment up and down the required numbe of turns to remove the bow. 4. turn the board over to create a nice even flat side. 5. plane the first side to remove any waves you made when compensating for the bow. This method takes some practice, but so far is working pretty good for me. Good video. I have some additional ideas. I have no jointer, just a radial arm saw and thickness planner.

I do think the helical head is worth it on the planer. But on the jointer I would put it in the "nice to have" category. If you are pressed for space, I think they are a great option.

I am looking at the laguna 10 inch and grizzly 10 inch models. is it worth it to pay extra fr jointers and planers with helical heads? marc what do you think of the jointer planer combo machines?

In most cases, I will lay out my cuts on the large boards and cut them down to size. Then I mill the smaller parts. But I only do this up to a point. Lets say the project calls for a couple 12" long parts. I am most likely going to mill a longer piece that contains at least two of the 12" pieces, instead of cutting the boards down to 12" and milling them individually. So there is some consolidation of sorts. But overall, I do cut the parts down (usually with a jigsaw) first, then I mill the smaller pieces to size. You can see me do this pretty clearly in the beginning of the Gadget Station series. http://thewoodwhisperer.com/episode-58-gadget-station-pt-2/ Hey JC.

I'm new to woodworking and I think your site, videos and sense of humor and ability to instruct are a great resource for anybody. That being said I have a question about milling lumber. Let's say you come home with a half dozen 4/4 quarter sawn oak planks roughly 12 feet long and 8 inches wide. do you mill all the planks to finished lumber? or do you cut off what you need for a particular project and mill the smaller pieces? Thanks for putting in the effort to help us all out. JC Hello Marc! I’m new to woodworking and I think your site, videos and sense of humor and ability to instruct are a great resource for anybody.
