Face Jointing
Set the fence to 90°, minimize the amount of cutterhead
that is exposed (about 1/4” wider than the stock), and
adjust the infeed table height to set the depth of cut at
no more than 1/8”.
Joint the board concave side down by feeding it over
the cutterhead while keeping the jointed edge against
the fence (A). Repeat this process until the face is at.

Selecting Stock
Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails or other
objects embedded in it, and only joint boards that have
the grain running lengthwise.
Finding the Concave Face
Place the board to be jointed on a at surface to de-
termine the concave face. This is the face or edge that
should be jointed.

Bevelling
Ensure the stock has a jointed face for reference, set
the fence to the desired angle, and feed the workpiece
over the cutterhead with the reference face held rmly
against the fence (C). Repeat until the desired bevel is
