Surface Planing
1. Inspect stock for quality issues and grain
orientation prior operation.
2. Begin surface planing with the concave face when
present (see examples on the right).
3. Adjust depth of cut of infeed table. Do not cut
more than 1/16” per pass to allow control over the
workpiece.
4. Set fence to 90°.
5. Start jointer and dust collection system.
6. To initiate a cut, stand near the infeed table, slightly behind the cutterhead. Use left hand to push
firmly on stock against the fence and infeed table, and use right hand to feed the stock from the back.
Use push blocks whenever permissible.
7. Feed a small section of stock across the cutterhead with pressure against the fence and the infeed
table.
8. As left hand approaches the cutterhead, lift it up and move across the cutterhead to avoid accidental
contact. Put left hand on stock that sits on the outfeed table, and continue to feed. Maintain control
of stock with right hand while repositioning left hand.
