Setting Depth Of Cut - Grizzly G0813 Owner's Manual

Setting Depth of Cut

The depth of cut on a jointer is the amount of mate-
rial removed from the bottom of the workpiece as
it passes over the cutterhead.
The depth of cut is set by adjusting the height of
the infeed table relative to the cutterhead knives
at TDC (top dead center).
The depth-of-cut scale (see Figure 48 on this
page) goes up to ⁄ " for cutting rabbets, but for
1

all other types of cuts the maximum depth of cut
should never exceed ⁄
1
DO NOT exceed the recommended depth of
cut per pass ( ⁄ " or

operation), or kickback and serious injury
may occur.
Adjusting Infeed Table Height
To adjust the infeed table height, loosen the infeed
table lock, adjust the infeed table lever, then tight-
en the lock to secure the setting (see Figure 46).
To set the maximum height (i.e. minimum depth of
cut), thread the stop bolt into the base and tighten
the jam nut shown in Figure 48.

Depth-of-Cut Scale
The depth of cut can be referenced directly from
the depth scale located on the front of the jointer
(see Figures 47–48).
Note: The depth scale can be calibrated or
"zeroed" if it is not correct. Refer to Calibrating
Depth Scale on Page 49 for more information.
