Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make

one flat face on a piece of stock (see

Figures 30–31) to

prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer.

To surface plane on the jointer, do these steps:

1. Read and understand SAFETY, beginning on Page 6.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for

dangerous conditions as described in the

Stock

Inspection & Requirements instructions, on Page

20.

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We

suggest

⁄

" for surface planing, using a more

shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide

stock.)

4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚.

5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so

the concave side is face down on the surface of the

infeed table.

6. Start the jointer.

7. With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece

against the table and fence with firm pressure, and

feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (

Figure 30).

Note: When your leading hand (with push block) gets

within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the

cutterhead, and place the push block on the por-

tion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table.

Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the

workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action

with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the

cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let

them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it

is moving!

8. Repeat Step 7 until the entire surface is flat.

Failure to use push blocks when sur-

face planing may result in cutterhead

contact, which will cause serious per-

sonal injury. Always use push blocks

to protect your hands when surface

planing on the jointer.

Jointer

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set

the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the

workpiece across the tables as described below.

This procedure will better prepare you for the

actual operation.
