Setting Depth of Cut
The depth of cut on a jointer affects the amount
of material removed from the bottom of the
workpiece as it passes over the cutterhead.
The depth of cut is set by adjusting the height of
the infeed table relative to the cutterhead inserts
at TDC (top dead center) and the outfeed table.
Adjusting Zero Stop
The zero stop (see
Figure 23) allows the operator
to consistently bring the infeed table even with the
outfeed table height.
