material passing over the cutterhead.
Concave Cuts: A material defect where the cen-
ter of the material is concave, caused by non-
parallel tables.
Convex Cuts: A material defect where the cen-
ter of the material is convex, caused by non-
parallel tables.
Cutterhead: The spinning head that holds the

Glossary Of Terms

Fence: The metal guide along which the workpiece
rides when passing over the jointer. Its angle is
adjustable. Proper angle adjustment is essen-
tial for accurate jointer operations.
Infeed Table: The adjustable section of the jointer
on which the material rides before passing over
cutterheads. This is the part of the jointer that
adjusts the depth-of-cut setting.
Outfeed Table: The stationary portion of the
jointer upon which the material rides after pass-
ing over the cutterhead.
Push Blocks: Safety devices that allow the oper-
ator's hands to stay away from the cutterhead
while feeding the material through the jointer.
Rough Cuts: A material defect where the jointer
blades fail to sever wood fibers and tear out
occurs.
Ripples: A material defect where the feed rate is
too fast and the cut of the knives is exagger-
ated.
Ribbed Cut: A material defect where an uneven
surface is produced on the jointed face of
the material; it usually appears as narrow
high spots over the length of the material.
Snipe: A material defect appearing as a bev-
eled edge on the back of the material, usually
caused by the outfeed table being too low.
