Jointing (or Edging)
Never edge a board that is less than 3 inches
wide, less than 1/4 inch thick, or 12 inches
long, without using a push block.
CAUTION: When workpiece is twice the
length of the jointer infeed or outfeed
table use an infeed or outfeed support .
Begin by feeding stock with right hand and
apply pressure to front of stock with push block.
When edging, make cuts of approximately 1/16
inch for hardwood and 1/8 inch for softwood.
When edging wood wider than 3 inches lap the
fingers over the top of the wood, extending
them back over the fence such that they will act
as a stop for the hands in the event of a
kickback. Keep stock against the fence
(Fig. 48).
Beveling
When beveling never make cut deeper than
1/16 inch. Make certain material being beveled
is over 12 inches long, more than 1/4 inch thick
and 1 inch wide. Set fence to desired angle.
FIG.48
FIG. 49
CAUTION: Although fence may be tilted in
or out for bevel cut, We recommends for
safety reasons the fence be tilted in,
if possible, making a cradled cut (Fig. 49).
For wood wider than 3 inches, hold with fingers
close together near the top of the stock, lapping
over the board and extending over the fence.
When beveling material less than 3 inches wide,
use beveled push blocks and apply pressure
toward the fence. Keep fingers near top of
push block (Fig. 50).
When beveling short material use one bevel
hold down and apply pressure toward the fence.
Keep thumb above the ledge on hold down
block (Fig. 51).
Cross Grain
NOTE:
When beveling around four edges of a
workpiece, make cross grain cuts first. This will
help clean up any chipping or splintering when
beveling the end grain.
For long boards, follow the same hand-over-
hand procedure used for surfacing long boards.
