Model W1829 (Mfg. Since 9/11)
OPERATIONS
Bevel Cutting
The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (see Figure 34).
The Model W1829 has preset fence stops at 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). If your situation requires a different angle, the preset fence stops can be easily adjusted for your needs.
To bevel cut on the jointer, do these steps:
1.Read and understand Safety, beginning on Page 6.
2.Make sure your stock has been inspected for danger- ous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, on Page 20.
3.Set the cutting depth for your operation.
Note: We suggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for bevel cutting, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.
4.Make sure your fence is set to the angle of your desired cut.
5.If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side toward the fence.
6.Start the jointer.
7.With a push block in your leading hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead, as in Figure 35.
Note: If your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!
8.Repeat Step 7 until the angled cut is satisfactory to your needs.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.
