W1701 1HP Shaper
Resurfacing Fence
The fence can be resurfaced or made flat with a jointer to correct any warping. This procedure should only be done if the fences will not align with each other after careful adjustment or they are warped.
To resurface the fence, do these steps:
1. Make sure the fence face mounting screws are far enough below the surface of the fence that they will not contact the jointer knives during operation.
Note: New fence faces can easily be made out of hard wood and resurfaced by using this same proce- dure.
2. Align both fence faces as straight as possible, using a straightedge or your jointer table as an alignment guide.
3. Resurface the fences on the jointer, as shown in Figure 42.
