Bevel Cutting
The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (Figure 26).
The Model G0526 has preset fence stops at 45û inward, 90û, and 45û outward (135û). If your situa- tion requires a different angle, the preset fence stops can be easily adjusted for your needs.

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 bevel cut 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 bevel cut- ting, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)
4.Make sure your fence is set to the angle of your desired cut.
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 your leading hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure.
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 the push paddle on the por- tion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. At this point, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feed- ing, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cut- terhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutter- head when it is moving!
