Edge Shaping: Long Boards
When edge shaping ling boards, the work piece must be at least 12 inches long.
1. Use the hold-in and hold-down plates as shown in
figure to firmly hold the work piece down and
against the fence. If work piece is too wide for the
hold-ins to be used, clamp a scrap board to the
table to substitute for the hold-ins.
2. Check the rotation of the cutter. Be sure to feed
workpiece against rotation of the cutter.
3. Feed the workpiece slowly and steadily with firm,
even pressure to make a smooth cut.
Note: The rate of feed depends on
depth of cut and experience of operator.
Edge Shaping: Short Boards
When edge shaping short boards, never attempt to hand
guide any stock less than 12 inches long, or narrower than
3 inches without the use of a special guide as shown.
Shaping All Sides
Because cross grain shaping is more likely to create
chipping out end splinters on some woods, it is good
practice to first shape the cross-grain sides. Any
chipping that does occur is taken care of by the with-
grain cuts.
