Edge Jointing on
Jointer
Edge jointing (see example Figures below) pro-
duces 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.

To edge joint on jointer:
1.
Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable
for the operation (see Stock Inspection &
Requirements section).
2.
Surface plane workpiece (see Surface
Planing on Jointer section).
3.
Set infeed table height to desired cutting
depth for each pass.
CAUTION: To minimize risk of kickback,
do not exceed a cutting depth of
4.
Set fence to 90°.
5.
Start jointer.
6.
Place workpiece firmly against fence and
infeed table with concave side facing down.
CAUTION: To ensure workpiece remains
stable during cut, concave sides of workpiece
must face toward table and fence.
7.
Feed workpiece completely across cutterhead
while keeping it firmly against fence and
tables during the entire cut.
CAUTION: Keep hands at least 4" away
from cutterhead during the entire cut. Instead
of allowing a hand to pass directly over
cutterhead, 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.
8.
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
workpiece will not be parallel with each other.
