Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing is to make a flat face on a piece of stock to prepare it for planing on a thickness planer. See Figure 44.

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 surface plane on the jointer:

1.Make sure that you have read and under- stand all safety instructions in Section 1: Safety and that your stock has been inspect- ed for safe operation as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions earlier in this section.

2.Make sure your workpiece is within the mini- mum and maximum stock dimensions that your Grizzly 8" Jointer can safely process. (Check the data sheet in the back of this manual for your particular model.)

3.Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest 1⁄32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)

4.Make sure your fence is set to 90˚

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

6.Start the jointer.

7.With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure.

8.Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 45. Note—When your lead- ing hand (with push block) gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter- head, and place the push block on the por- tion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. At this point, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feed- ing, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cut- terhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutter- head when it is moving!

9.Repeat steps 7-8until the entire surface is flat.
