Nov 15, 2021 at 6:07 comment added Volfram K @gnicko but point of milling is to take out distortions in rough material! esp using the big power tools this should be v hard, the jointer should take out 1/2 of twist even before the planer is used .

Nov 9, 2021 at 6:29 comment added Volfram K @BrianThompson but how did you flatten 1st face of this board, and then make final thickness? Very hard to keep twist :)
Nov 8, 2021 at 16:35 comment added Brian Thompson As the OP of the linked question, I'll say I'm almost certain the board was twisted before milling and I just missed it. Some other boards in the project were as well, but I was able to take it out with a planer sled. They have remained flat.
Nov 4, 2021 at 8:44 comment added Volfram K @Caleb so? rouch wood rarely is 100% flat, we make flat boards from it.
Nov 3, 2021 at 6:16 comment added Caleb Note that the OP in the original question suggests that the twist might've been present in the rough piece ("I should have caught it sooner"). So the issue there may not have been distortion during/after milling, but rather distortion during the drying process before final milling.
