Edge Jointing

 

Beveling

 

 

 

 

 

 

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin- ished, flat-edged surface that is suitable for join- ery or finishing. Jointing is also a necessary step prior to ripping stock to width on a table saw or radial arm saw.

1.Make sure the fence is set to 90°. Double check it with a square.

2.Inspect stock for soundness and grain direc- tion.

3.If the board is bowed (curved), place the concave edge down on the infeed table.

4.Holding the stock firmly against the fence and table, feed the stock slowly and evenly over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 19.

Beveling an edge is essentially the same opera- tion as edge jointing, except that the fence is tilt- ed to a specified angle. Use extra care to ensure that the edge makes solid contact with the infeed and outfeed tables at all times.

1.Use a bevel gauge to determine the desired angle. Then use the bevel to transfer this angle to the fence.

2.Tilt the fence by loosening the angle setting lock knob and moving the fence to the desired angle. Lock the knob.

3.Inspect stock for soundness and grain direc- tion.

4.Slowly and evenly feed stock through the cutterhead. Make sure the face of the stock is completely flat against the fence and the edge is making solid contact on the infeed and outfeed tables as shown in Figure 20.

5.Achieving the full bevel will probably take several passes. Remember not to take more than 1⁄16" in one pass.
