Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged workpiece surface that is suit- able for joinery or finishing (see Figures 42–43). It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock.

Extreme Series Jointer (Mfg. Since 9/11)

To edge joint on the jointer:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Make sure you read and follow the Safety Instructions beginning on Page 6 and the Stock Inspection & Requirement rules beginning on Page 26.

3.Verify that the outfeed table height is properly set (refer to Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 19).

4.Set the depth of cut for your operation and the fence to 90°.

Note: We suggest 1⁄16"–1⁄8" depth of cut for edge jointing, and a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.

5.If your workpiece is cupped or warped, place it so the concave side is face down on the infeed table.

6.Connect the jointer to power and turn it ON.

7.With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the infeed table and the fence with firm pressure, then feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.

Note: When your leading hand comes within 4" of the cutterhead, lift that push block up and place it on the workpiece portion that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus the down- ward pressure with the leading hand while feeding, then repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it comes within 4" of the cutterhead. Keep your hands safe! DO NOT allow them to get any closer than 4" to the cutterhead.

8.Repeat Step 7 until the entire workpiece edge is flat.
