Bevel Cutting - Grizzly G0490 Owner's Manual

Bevel Cutting

Bevel cuts (see Figures 35–36) can be made by
setting the fence at the desired angle and feeding
the workpiece firmly along the fence face, with the
bottom inside corner firmly against the table. The
cutting process typically requires multiple passes
or cuts to bevel the entire edge of a workpiece.

To bevel cut on jointer:
1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable
for the operation (see Stock Inspection &
Requirements section).
2. Set infeed table height to cutting depth
desired for each pass.
Note: Cutting depth for bevel cuts is typically
between ⁄ " and ⁄
1 1
16 8
and width of stock.
3.
Set fence tilt to desired angle of cut.
4.
Place workpiece against fence and infeed
table with concave side face down.
5.
Start jointer.
6.
With a push block in your leading hand, press
workpiece against table and fence with firm
pressure, and feed workpiece over cutter-
head with a push block in your trailing hand.
Note: When your leading hand gets within
4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over cutter-
head, and place push block on portion of the
workpiece once it is 4" past cutterhead. Now,
focus your pressure on outfeed end of the
workpiece while feeding, and repeat same
action with your trailing hand when it gets
within 4" of cutterhead. To help keep your
hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than
4" from moving cutterhead at any time during
operation!
7.
Repeat cutting process, as necessary, until
you are satisfied with the results.
