Edge Jointing

OPERATIONS

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (see Figures 38 & 39) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

To edge joint on the jointer, do these steps:

1.Read and understand SAFETY, beginning on Page 5.

2.Make sure your stock has been inspected for danger- ous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 21.

3.Set the cutting depth for your operation. Note: We suggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for edge jointing, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.

4.Make sure the fence is set to 90˚.

5.If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side is face down (Figure 39) on the surface of the infeed table.

6.Start the jointer.

7.Press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure. Use your trailing hand to guide the workpiece through the cut, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (See Figure 38).

Note: If your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place it on the portion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand if it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

8.Repeat Step 7 until the entire edge is flat.
