The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is
to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see
Figures 26 & 27). This is a necessary step when
preparing a workpiece to be run through a planer
when squaring stock.
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. This procedure will better pre-
pare you for the actual operation.
