STOCK INSPECTION & REQUIREMENTS
Here are some rules to follow when choosing
and jointing stock:
• DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that con-
tains large or loose knots. Injury to the opera-
tor or damage to the workpiece can occur if
a knot becomes dislodged during the cutting
operation.
• DO NOT joint or surface plane against the
grain direction. Cutting against the grain in-
creases the likelihood of stock kickback, as well
as tear-out on the workpiece.
• Jointing and surface planing with the grain
produces a better finish and is safer for the op-
erator. Cutting with the grain is described as
feeding the stock on the jointer so the grain
points down and toward you as viewed on the
edge of the stock.
NOTE: If the grain changes direction along the
edge of the board, decrease the cutting depth
and make additional passes.
· Only process natural wood fiber through your
jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, ply-
wood, laminates, metal, stone, tile, glass, plas-
tic or other synthetically made materials.
· Scrape all glue off of boards before jointing.
· Remove foreign objects from the stock. Make
sure that any stock you process with the jointer
is clean and free of any dirt, nails, staples, tiny
rocks or any other foreign objects, which if
they hit the knives and are drawn into the dust
collector, may cause a fire hazard. The particles

may also damage the knives. Wood stacked on
a concrete floor can have small pieces of stone
or concrete pressed into the surface.
· Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before
jointing. Wood with a moisture content over
20% will cause unnecessary wear on the knives
and poor cutting results. Excess moisture can
also hasten rust and corrosion.
· Make sure your workpiece exceeds the mini-
mum dimension requirements before edge
jointing or surface planing, or it may break or
kick back during the operation.
SQUARING STOCK
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 op-
posite face of the workpiece is surface planed
flat with a thickness planer.
3. Edge Joint On The Jointer. The concave edge
of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer.
