Terms and Definitions

Infeed Table: The infeed table is the table where the cutting operation begins. When facing the front of the jointer, it is on the right hand side. The wood travels right to left; from the infeed table, across the cutterhead, and onto the out- feed table.

Outfeed Table: The outfeed table is the table where the cutting operation ends. When facing the front of the jointer, it is on the left hand side.

Cutterhead: The cutterhead is the cylindrical assembly that holds each of the three jointer knives. It spins on a horizontal axis between the infeed and outfeed table, and is covered by the cutterhead guard when the jointer is not in use.

Fence: The jointer fence is the adjustable cast iron surface that the wood stock runs along when jointing and surface planing. The fence is adjustable from 45° to 90° to the infeed and outfeed tables.

Adjustment Handwheels: Controls the height of the infeed and outfeed tables.

Table Lock Handles: The threaded handles that must be loosened before the height of the tables can be adjusted. They are then tight- ened after the height is properly set.

Rabbet Cut: A rabbet cut is a groove cut along the long edge of the wood stock. This cut is typically used in carcass construction. The cut- terhead guard must be removed for this opera- tion so great care is needed for safe operation.

Surface Planing: Surface planing is running the face of the wood stock over the jointer. This provides one flat side that is ready to be run through a dedicated planing machine.

Edge Jointing: Edge jointing is running the long edge of the wood stock over the jointer. This provides one flat edge that is ready to be run against the table saw rip fence or ready to be edge glued.

Cutterhead Guard: The metal guard that covers the cutterhead when wood stock is not passing over the jointer.
