ST1001 6" Jointer
-17-
Here are some rules to follow when choosing
and jointing stock:
•
Jointing and surface planing WITH the grain
produces a better finish and is safer for the
operator.
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 (
Figure 26
).
Note:
If the grain changes direction along the
edge of the board, decrease the cutting depth and
make additional passes.

Stock Inspection and
Requirements
Fence Movement:
The fence has a lock that keeps it
in position (
Figure 24
). To move the fence, loosen the
lock and slide the fence where needed.

Fence Tilting:
The tilt lock (
Figure 25
) secures the
fence at any position in the available range. The
plunger locks into an indexing ring to easily set the
fence tilt to 90° after moving it. Two positive stops
stop the fence at 45° inward and 45° outward (135°)
to assist with 45° bevel cuts. Even when the fence is
resting against the positive stops, the tilt lock must
be tightened before cutting.

•
DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that
contains large or loose knots.
Injury to the
operator or damage to the workpiece can occur
if knots are dislodged during the cutting opera-
tion.
•
DO NOT joint or surface plane against the
grain direction.
Cutting against the grain
increases the likelihood of stock kickback, as
well as tear-out on the workpiece.
