Bevel Cutting - Grizzly G0586 Instruction Manual

Bevel Cutting

The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific
angle into the edge of a workpiece (see Figures
25 & 26).
The Model G0586 has preset fence stops at 45˚
inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). If your situ-
ation requires a different angle, the preset fence
stops can be easily adjusted for your needs.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer,
set the depth of cut to 0", and practice
feeding the workpiece across the tables as
described below. This procedure will better
prepare you for the actual operation.

G0586 8" X 75" Deluxe Jointer
To bevel cut on the jointer:
1.
Read and understand Section 1: Safety,
beginning on Page 6.
2.
Make sure your stock has been inspected
for dangerous conditions as described in the
Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on
Page 19.
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest between
ting, using a more shallow depth for hard
wood species or for wide stock.)
4.
Make sure your fence is set to the angle of
your desired cut.
5.
If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place
it so the concave side is face down on the
surface of the infeed table.
6.
Start the jointer.
7.
With a push block in your leading hand, press
the workpiece against the table and fence
with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece
over the cutterhead.
Note—If your leading hand gets within 4"
of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the
cutterhead, and place the push block on
the portion of the workpiece that is on the
outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on
the outfeed end of the workpiece while feed-
ing, and repeat the same action with your
trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the
cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO
NOT let them get closer than 4" from the
cutterhead when it is moving!
8. Repeat Step 7 until the angled cut is satis-
factory to your needs.
