Basic Jointer Operation
NOTE: If you are inexperienced at jointing, use
scrap pieces of lumber to check settings and get
the feel of operations before attempting regular
work.
This section briefly discusses general rules as
well as some of the basic cuts using a jointer,
such as surfacing, edging, beveling, skewing,
rabbeting and taper cuts.
Always use cutterhead guard
(except during rabbeting) and keep hands
away from cutterhead.
Jointing Short or Thin Work
When jointing short or thin pieces, use a push
pad or push block to eliminate all danger to the
hands. Two push pads are included with your
jointer. You can also make your own push block
from scrap material. Three types are illustrated
in Figure 26.
