CT056 6” WOODWORKING JOINTER
Operation, Continued
Honing Knives
For the best results from your Craftex CT056 Woodworking Jointer the machine
must be regularly maintained.
Dull knives, dirty knives or chipped knives will give poor jointing results. Knife
blades should be checked routinely and on a regular basis.
Should the knife edges be simply dull, you can restore the edges without
removing them from the jointer. Knives can be honed a number of times before
they require re-grinding. Should a small nick appear in the knives, the effects of
this can be corrected by re-setting one of the knives slightly to the left or right
(
See Adjusting Knives) . Honing can be best achieved by using the Busy Bee
B1659 Jointer Knife Honing Tool.
Disconnect the power supply.
Remove the fence (or slide it back to expose all of the knife surfaces), remove
the blade guard and lower the infeed table. Clean the cutter head and knives with
mineral spirits to remove pitch, gum and tar.
Wedge a small piece of wood between the cutter head and the frame to keep the
cutter head from moving while you are honing the knives.
Put a few drops of honing oil on the honing stone and draw it across the full
length of the knife. Be sure that the stone makes full contact with the knife edge.
Start the process with the coarser of the two stones and finish with the finest.
Clean the cutter head to remove any oily substances, replace the guard and
make a few test cuts.
