Bevel Cutting

The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut the edge of a workpiece at a specific angle (see Figure 37).

The Model G0612 has fence stops you can set at 90˚, 45˚ inward, and 45˚ outward (135˚). If your situation requires a different angle, the fence can be locked anywhere between these angles.

NOTICE

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

Figure 36. Typical bevel cutting operation.

To bevel cut on the jointer:

1.Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY.

2.Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions.

3.Set the cutting depth for your operation. We suggest between 116" and 18" for bevel cut- ting; but use a more shallow depth when cut- ting hardwoods or wide surfaces.

4.Make sure your fence is set to the angle desired and securely locked.

5.If your workpiece is cupped (warped), square the stock before edge jointing by surface planing the workpiece until it is flat on both sides.

6.Start the jointer.

7.With a push block in your leading hand, press the workpiece against the infeed table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead, as shown in Figure 36.

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 when 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 mov- ing!

8.Repeat Step 7 until the angled cut is satisfac- tory to your needs.
