Rabbet Cutting - Grizzly G0656P Instruction Manual

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 & Requirements instruc-
tions, beginning on Page 21.
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest between
1
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 edge is face down on the
surface of the infeed table.
6.
Start the jointer.
7.
With a push block in your leading hand
(Figure 30), 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.

Rabbet Cutting

The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a
section of the workpiece edge (see Figures 32
& 33). When combined with another rabbet cut
edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong
method of joining stock.
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.
