To bevel cut on the jointer:
1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY,
beginning on
Page 7.
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected
for dangerous conditions as described in the
Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on
Page 31.
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest between
1
⁄
16
" and
1
⁄
8
" for bevel cut-
ting, 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 is face down on the
surface of the infeed table.
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.
Note: When 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 satisfac-
tory to your needs.
The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a sec-
tion of the workpiece edge (see
Figures 49 & 50).
When combined with another rabbet cut edge, the
rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong method of
joining stock.

and a few sample joints.

Rabbet Cutting
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.
