Depth-of-Cut Scale
The depth of cut can be referenced directly from
the depth scale located on the front of the jointer
(see Figure 34).
Note: The depth scale can be calibrated or
"zeroed" if it is not correct. (Refer to Calibrating
Depth-of-Cut Scale on Page 51.)

Depth of Cut Scale
The infeed table has positive-stop screws (see
Figure 35) that allow you to quickly adjust the
infeed table between finish/final cuts and shaping/
heavy cuts and the maximum depth of cut of
1
⁄2"
(or less) when rabbeting.
Each positive-stop screw controls top or bottom
range of table movement. Jam nuts lock positive-
stop screws in position so they will not move dur-
ing operation.
We recommend setting the bottom height stop
screw at
1
⁄2". The top height stop can be set any-
where between 0" and
1
⁄16". The
1
⁄8" depth stop is
factory set and cannot be adjusted.

3. Raise table to minimum desired depth of
cut, then tighten upper stop screw (see
Figure 35) until it contacts table. Tighten jam
nut to secure stop screw in position.
4. Lower table to maximum desired depth of cut,
then tighten lower stop screw until it contacts
table. Tighten jam nut to secure stop screw in
position.
Note: If you need to lower the infeed table
more than
1
⁄8", then pull and hold the
1
⁄8" depth
stop release knob (see Figure 35) while low-
ering infeed table.
