Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin- ished, flat-edged surface (see Figures 30 & 31) 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 zero, and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

Figure 30. Typical edge jointing operation.

Figure 31. Illustration of edge jointing results.

To edge joint on the jointer:

1.Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY, beginning on Page 6.

2.Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on Page 22.

3.Set the cutting depth for your operation. (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 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.

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 entire edge is flat.
