Surface Planing
The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 26 & 27). This is a necessary step when preparing a workpiece to be run through a planer when squaring 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. This procedure will better pre- pare you for the actual operation.
