HAND PLACEMENT

At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the

work firmly against the infeed table and fence

while the right hand pushes the work toward

the knives. After the cut is under way, the

new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table.

The left hand should press down on this part,

at the same time maintaining flat contact with

the fence. The right hand presses the work

forward and before the right hand reaches the

cutterhead it should be moved to the work on

the outfeed table. FOLLOW THE 3 INCH

RULE. NEVER PASS HANDS DIRECTLY

OVER THE CUTTERHEAD.

EDGE JOINTING

This is the most common operation for the

jointer. Set guide fence square with the table.

Depth of cut should be the minimum required

to obtain a straight edge. Do not make cuts

deeper than 1/8" in a single pass. Hold the

best face of the piece firmly against the fence

throughout the feed. See Figure 20.

SURFACING

Jointing the face of stock, or surfacing, is

shown in Figure 21. Adjust the infeed table for

depth of cut. Cuts of approximately 1/16” at a

time are recommended, as this allows better

control over the material being surfaced.

More passes can then be made to reach the

desired depth.

WARNING: Always use a hold down

or push block when surfacing short

stock or stock less than 3 inches

thick.

RABBETING

WARNING: A rabbet cut requires

removal of the cutter guard. Use

extreme caution and keep hands

clear of cutterhead. Always replace

guard immediately after rabbeting

operation is completed.

A rabbet is a groove cut along the edge of a

board. See Figure 21A. The width and

thickness of the wood to be rabbeted depends

upon the width and length of the rabbet.

However, never rabbet a piece of wood less

than 12” long.
