Operation
Placement of hands during feeding
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly down on the infeed table and firmly against the fence. The right hand pushes the workpiece toward the blades. After the cut has started, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand should press down on this part well away from directly over the cutterhead, a t the same time maintaining flush contact with the fence. The right hand presses the workpiece forward and before the right hand passes over the cutterhead it should be cautiously moved to the workpiece on the outfeed table.
Jointing an edge | Fence |
Set the fence square with the table. Hold the best fece of the workpiece firmly against the fence throughout the feed. Side pressure is required to keep the workpiece in flush contact with the fence. This is very important when jointing wide workpiece.
