DIRECTION OF GRAIN

Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the grain as

shown in Fig. 51. The result will be chipped and

splintered edges. Feed with the grain as shown in Fig.

52, to obtain a smooth surface.

After considerable use, the knives will become dull and it will not be possible to do accurate work. Unless

badly damaged by running into metal or other hard material, the knives may be sharpened as follows:

SOURCE.

Use a fine carborundum stone, cover it partly with paper

as indicated in Fig. 53 to avoid marking the table. Lay

the stone on the infeed table, lower the table and turn

the cutterhead forward until the stone lies flat on the

bevel of the knife as shown. Hold the cutterhead from

turning, and whet the beveled edge of the knife, stroking

lengthwise by sliding the stone back and forth across

the table. Do the same amount of whetting on each of

the three knives.
