Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (Figure 24) to prepare it for surface planing on a thick- ness planer.

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.Read and understand Section 1: Safety, beginning on page 3.

2.Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the ÒStock InspectionÓ instructions, beginning on page 22.

3.Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest 1Ú32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)

4.Make sure your fence is set to 90û

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 paddle in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure.

Failure to use push paddles when surface planing could result in the operator’s hands coming into contact with the cutterhead, causing serious personal injury. Always use push paddles when surface planing on the jointer.

8.Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead. NoteÑWhen your leading hand (with push paddle) gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push paddle on the portion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. At this point, 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 clos- er than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

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