Milling Four Square Lumber by Dave Markel Introduction This tutorial assumes that you know how to safely operate your power tools. Always refer to the manufacturer instructions if you are unsure how to use your tools. Any wood worker needs to take a board from the lumber yard or their local sawyer and make this board a uniform thickness, length and width. This board needs to have all four edges square to each other. This is referred to a milling a board four square and is a pre-requisite to any wood working project. This is best accomplished by using a jointer, thickness planer, miter and circular saws and a table saw. In this example we will mill a board 30" x 4-1/2" x 5/8" with all for edges square to each other. Step 1: Rough cut your stock Make the cut using a circular saw being careful to make a fairly square cut. Now measure 30-3/4", the rough length, and square off the board using your framing square. and make the second cut the same way you made the first. Be careful to cut on the waste side of the line. Step 2: Rip to rough width Step 3: Truing one face As always with the jointer it is advisable now to take more than 1/16" per pass. Taking more wood per pass will overwork the machine and give results that are less than optimal. Analyze the board to determine the direction of the grain and whether there is cupping. It is best to place the cupped face down since it will site better on the jointer table. Run the board through for a couple of passes until you have a uniform face free of voids and dips. Step 4: Truing the second face The thickness planer guides the board and makes the second face exactly parallel to the first. Once the second face is true and parallel to the first continue to plane the board until it reaches the finished thickness, in this case 5/8". Remember to feed the stock with the grain to ensure a smooth clean cut. Step 5: Square one edge Once you are satisfied that the edge and face are square to each other mark the edge for reference. Step 6: Square the other edge Step 7: Squaing the ends Conclusion: There are a number of methods that will work for milling a board square, however I have always had good luck using this method.
