Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer
is to make one flat face on the workpiece (see
Figures 35–36) to prepare it for surface planing
on a thickness planer.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer,
set the depth of cut to zero and practice
feeding the workpiece across the tables as
described. This procedure will better pre-
pare you for the actual operation.
