Edge Jointing
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a
straight cutting router bit to remove wood from the
face of the board. the result is a perfectly flat and
square edge.
To joint the edge of a workpiece:
1. disConnECt routEr FroM poWEr!
2. secure a straight cutting bit into your rout-
er according to the router manufacturer's
instructions.
3. install the smallest table insert into the router
table that still allows the router bit to freely
rotate.
4. raise the bit to a height slightly more than
that of the workpiece, then rotate it by hand
until the cutting flute is perpendicular to the
fence boards.
5. insert and secure shims between the outfeed
fence board and the fence bracket that equal
in thickness the amount of material you want
to remove from the workpiece face (see the
illustration in
figure 21).
