A jointer is mainly used to flatten the face or edge of a workpiece, which is required when properly "squaring up" a workpiece for later construction or joining multiple pieces with glue. A jointer can also cut bevels, rabbets, and other specialized cuts with various jigs or fixtures.

The primary components of the jointer are the infeed table, cutterhead, fence, and outfeed table. A typical cut on a jointer is made by firmly holding a workpiece against the infeed table and fence, then moving the workpiece over the cutterhead while using the fence as a guide. As the workpiece moves over the cutterhead, the inserts make many shallow cuts that "shave" off the workpiece surface. After moving over the cutterhead, the workpiece is supported by the outfeed table, which along with the fence, continue to guide the workpiece across a flat plane until it completely passes the cutterhead. Since only a small amount of the workpiece is removed during a jointer cut, most jointer cuts are repeated many times.

The position of the infeed table relative to the outfeed table controls the cutting depth. If the infeed table is 1⁄16" lower than the outfeed table, then 1⁄16" of the workpiece will be removed by the cutterhead as the workpiece passes from the infeed table to the outfeed table.

Since the workpiece is held firmly against the fence as it passes over the cutterhead, the fence controls the angle of the cut. The fence can be moved 45° in either direction and locked in place. The fence also features stops that allow it to be quickly set at 45°, 90°, and 135°.

The outfeed table must be even with the inserts at their highest point of rotation to keep the freshly cut portion of the workpiece in the same plane as it was cut, which is what yields a flat workpiece.

G0495X specifications

The Grizzly G0495X is a versatile and powerful tool designed for woodworking enthusiasts and professionals alike. This hybrid table saw combines cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring precision and efficiency in every project.

At the heart of the G0495X is its robust 3 HP motor, which delivers exceptional power to handle even the toughest hardwoods with ease. This heavy-duty drive system ensures smooth and reliable performance, reducing the risk of motor burnout during extended use. The saw's belt drive system further enhances its capability, providing a high degree of torque for challenging cutting tasks.

One of the standout features of the G0495X is its large cast iron table. Measuring a generous 30” x 42”, it provides ample workspace for handling larger materials while ensuring stability and accuracy in cuts. The precision-ground surface of the table reduces friction, allowing for smoother movement of wood across the surface. Additionally, the table features an integrated T-style miter gauge slot, offering the user versatility for various cutting angles.

In terms of safety, the G0495X is equipped with several important features. The riving knife and blade guard help to prevent kickbacks, making it safer to use, particularly for novices. The easy-to-use height and bevel adjustment mechanisms allow users to make quick changes to the blade settings for different cut types.

The saw also incorporates advanced dust collection capabilities. With a 4” dust port, it connects to most standard dust collection systems, significantly reducing the mess and maintaining a clean workspace. This feature not only keeps the area tidy but also enhances the user’s visibility while working.

Another notable characteristic of the Grizzly G0495X is its versatility. This table saw can handle various cutting tasks, from rip cuts to crosscuts, making it suitable for a range of woodworking projects, including furniture making, cabinetry, and more. The built-in extension table and side wings also expand the cutting capacity for larger projects.

Overall, the Grizzly G0495X stands out as a reliable and powerful table saw equipped with premium features that cater to both amateur and professional woodworkers. Its combination of performance, safety, and advanced technologies makes it an excellent investment for anyone serious about woodworking.
