MB502 6” Deluxe Jointer
Fig. 69
1. Adjust the fence so that the distance between the end of the knives and the fence is
equal to the width of the rabbet.
2. Lower the infeed table an amount equal to the depth of the rabbet. If the rabbet is
quite deep, it may be necessary to cut it in two or more passes. In that event, the table
is lowered an amount equal to about half the depth of the rabbet for the first pass, then
lowered again to proper depth to complete the cut maximum depth of cut when
rebating with this jointer is 1/2 inch.
PLANING WARPED PIECES
If the wood to be planed is dished or warped, take light cuts until the surface is flat. Avoid
forcing such material down against the table; excessive pressure will spring it while
passing the knives, and it will spring back and remain curved after the cut is completed.
PLANING SHORT OR THIN WORK
When planning short or thin pieces, always use push blocks to minimize all danger to the
hands. Fig.70 illustrates using the Push Blocks properly.
DO NOT PERFORM PLANING OPERATIONS ON MATERIAL SHORTET THAN 10
INCHES, NARROWER THAN 3/4 INCH, WIDER THAN 6 INCHES, OR LESS THAN 1/2
INCH THICK (REFER TO FIG. 71).
