Planed Face
3. Edge Joint on the Jointer—The concave
edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the
jointer.
4. Rip Cut on a Table Saw—The jointed edge
of the workpiece is placed against a table saw
fence and the opposite edge cut off.
Squaring stock involves four steps performed
in the order below:
1. Surface Plane on the Jointer—The concave
face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with
the jointer.
2. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer—The
opposite face of the workpiece is surface planed
flat with a thickness planer.
Squaring Stock
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.
