G0609 12" Parallelogram Jointer

The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a

section of the workpiece edge (see

Figures 28

& 29). When combined with another rabbet cut

edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong

method of joining stock.

To rabbet cut on the jointer:

1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY,

beginning on

Page 7.

2. Inspect your stock for the dangerous con-

ditions described in the Stock Inspection

instructions, beginning on

Page 21.

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.

Note: We suggest between

1

⁄16" and

1

⁄8" for

rabbet cutting, using a more shallow depth

for hard wood species or for wide stock.

4. Loosen the set screws shown in Figure 10,

Page 17, and remove the cutterhead guard.

5. Move your fence forward so the amount of

infeed/outfeed table exposed is the same as

the size of your rabbet. Also, make sure your

fence is set to 90˚ and place the workpiece

on the jointer.

6. Start the jointer.

7. With a push block in each hand, press

the workpiece against the table and fence

with firm pressure (

Figure 28), and feed

the workpiece over the cutterhead.

Note:

If your leading hand gets within 4" of the

cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead,

and place the push block on the portion of

the workpiece that is on the outfeed table.

Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end

of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat

the same action with your trailing hand when

it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep

your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer

than 4" from the cutterhead when it is mov-

ing!

8. Repeat Step 7 until the your rabbet is cut to

depth.

9. Replace the cutterhead guard, wind the col-

lar (See

Page 17), and tighten the screws.

and a few sample joints.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer,

set the depth of cut to 0", and practice

feeding the workpiece across the tables as

described below. This procedure will better

prepare you for the actual operation.

Rabbet Cutting

When the cutterhead guard is removed,

attempting any other cut besides a rabbet

directly exposes the operator to the moving

cutterhead. Always replace the cutterhead

guard after rabbet cutting!
