-20- Ultimate Series Jointers
The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin-
ished, flat-edged surface that is suitable for join-
ery or finishing. Jointing is also a necessary step
prior to ripping stock to width on a table saw or
radial arm saw.
1. Make sure the fence is set to 90°. Double
check it with a square.
2. Inspect stock for soundness and grain direc-
tion.
3. If the board is bowed (curved), place the
concave edge down on the infeed table.
4. Holding the stock firmly against the fence
and table, feed the stock slowly and evenly
over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 19.

Edge Jointing
Beveling
Beveling an edge is essentially the same opera-
tion as edge jointing, except that the fence is tilt-
ed to a specified angle. Use extra care to ensure
that the edge makes solid contact with the infeed
and outfeed tables at all times.
1. Use a bevel gauge to determine the desired
angle. Then use the bevel to transfer this
angle to the fence.
2. Tilt the fence by loosening the angle setting
lock knob and moving the fence to the
desired angle. Lock the knob.
3. Inspect stock for soundness and grain direc-
tion.
4. Slowly and evenly feed stock through the
cutterhead. Make sure the face of the stock
is completely flat against the fence and the
edge is making solid contact on the infeed
and outfeed tables as shown in Figure 20.
5. Achieving the full bevel will probably take
several passes. Remember not to take more
than
1
16" in one pass.
