Since the workpiece is held firmly against the fence as it passes over the cutterhead, the fence controls the angle of the cut. The jointer fence can be moved 45° in either direction from square and locked in place anywhere within this range. The jointer fence also features stops that allow it to be quickly set at 45°, 90°, and 125°.

Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (Figure 23) secures the fence at any position in the available range. The swing stop locks the fence tilt for 90° cuts. Two positive stops stop the fence at 45° inward and 45° outward for common 45° bevel cuts. Even when the fence is resting against the positive stops, the tilt lock must be tightened before cut- ting. Also, the swing stop must be disengaged for 45° outward bevel cuts.
