Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin- ished, flat-edged surface (Figure 25) that is suit- able for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step in the squaring process of rough or warped 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 below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

To edge joint 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 between 1Ú16" and 1Ú8" for edge joint- ing, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)

4.Make sure the 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.Press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure. Use your trailing hand to guide the workpiece through the cut.

8.Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead. NoteÑIf your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter- head, and place it on the portion of the work- piece 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 closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

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