Edge Jointing - Grizzly G0813 Owner's Manual

Edge Jointing

Edge jointing (see Figures below) produces a flat
and true surface along the side of a workpiece
by removing uneven areas. It is an essential step
for squaring up warped or rough stock and when
preparing a workpiece for joinery or finishing.

NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer,
set depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding
workpiece across tables as described. This
will help you prepare for actual operations.
To edge joint on jointer:
1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable
for the operation (see Stock Inspection &
Requirements section).
2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting
depth for each pass.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, cutting
depth should never exceed
3. Set fence to 90˚.
4. Start jointer.
5. Place workpiece firmly against fence and
infeed table.
IMPORTANT: To ensure workpiece remains
stable during cut, concave sides of workpiece
must face toward table and fence.
6.
Feed workpiece completely across cutter-
head while keeping it firmly against fence
and tables during the entire cut.
IMPORTANT: Keep hands at least 4" away
from cutterhead during the entire cut. Instead
of allowing a hand to pass directly over cut-
terhead, lift it up and over cutterhead, and
safely reposition it on the outfeed side to con-
tinue supporting workpiece. Use push blocks
whenever practical to further reduce risk of
accidental hand contact with cutterhead.
7. Repeat Step 6 until the entire edge is flat.
Tip: When squaring up stock, cut opposite
edge of workpiece with a table saw instead
of the jointer—otherwise, both edges of work-
piece will not be parallel with each other.
