Surface Planing
1. Inspect stock for quality issues and grain
orientation before the operation. Begin surface
planing with the concave face when present (see
examples on the right).
2. Adjust the depth of cut by setting the elevation of
the infeed table. Woodworkers typically set the
depth of cut to 1/16” or less to allow better control
over the workpiece, and to reduce wastage.
If needed, this jointer is capable of removing 1/8"
of materials per pass.
3. Set the fence to 90°.
4. Start the jointer and the dust collection system.
5. To initiate a cut, stand near the infeed table and slightly behind the cutterhead. Place the workpiece
on the infeed table. Use the push block in the left hand to feed stock against the fence and the infeed
table, and use the push block in the right hand to feed the stock from the back.
6. Feed a small section of the workpiece across the cutterhead. Keep it under control but do not apply
excessive pressure to bend it flat on the table.
7. As the left feeding hand approaches the cutterhead, stop feeding. Carefully lift the left-hand push
block and use it to feed the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Maintain control of
the workpiece with the right hand while repositioning the left hand.
