The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see =`^li\j*+ & *,) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer.

(% Read and understand J8=<KP, beginning onGX^\,.

*% Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest 1⁄32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.)
+% Make sure your fence is set to 90˚.
,% If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.
.% With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (=`^li\*+).
