    When the shaping operation removes the en- tire edge of the stock, e.g. in jointing or making a full bead, the shaped edge will not be supported by the outfeed fence when both fences are in line, Figure 20a. In this case, the stock should be advanced to the po- sition shown in Figure 20a and stopped.
