JOINTING AN EDGE

This is the most common operation for the jointer. Set the

guide fence square with the t able. Depth of cut should be

the minimum required to obt ain a straight edge. Hold the

best face of the piece firmly against the fence throughout

the feed as shown in Fig. 40.

PLANING OR SURFACING

Planing or surfacing is identical to the jointing operation

except for the position of the workpiece. For planing, the

major flat surface of the workpiece is placed on the

infeed t able of the jointer with the narrow edge of the

workpiece against the fence, as shown in Fig. 42. T h e

workpiece is moved from the infeed t able, across the cut -

terhead to the out feed t able est ablishing a flat surface on

the workpiece Always use push blocks when performing

planing operations and never p ass your hands directly

over the cutterhead.
