Setting Depth Of Cut - Grizzly G0526A40 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 inserts
at TDC (top dead center).

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 31–32).
Note: The depth scale can be calibrated or
"zeroed" if it is not correct. Refer to Calibrating
Depth Scale on Page 40 for more information.
