G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers
Bevel Cutting
The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific
angle into the edge of a workpiece. See Figure
48.
The Grizzly 8" Jointers have preset fence stops at
45˚ to the left and 45˚ to the right. If your situation
requires a different angle, the preset fence stops
can be easily adjusted for your needs.
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest between
1
⁄16" and
1
⁄8" for bevel cut-
ting, using a more shallow depth for harder
wood species or for wider stock.)
4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle of
your desired cut.
5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place
it so the concave side is face down on the
surface of the infeed table.
6. Start the jointer.
7. With a push block in your leading hand,
press the workpiece against the table and
fence with firm pressure.
8. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead as
shown in Figure 49. 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
over the outfeed table. At this point, 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 clos-
er than 4" from the cutterhead when it is
moving!
9. Repeat steps 7-8 until the angled cut is sat-
isfactory to your needs.
To bevel cut on the jointer:
1. Make sure that you have read and under-
stand all safety instructions in Section 1:
Safety and that your stock has been inspect-
ed for safe operation as described in the
“Stock Inspection” instructions earlier in this
section.
2. Make sure your workpiece is within the mini-
mum and maximum stock dimensions that
your Grizzly 8" Jointer can safely process.
(Check the data sheet in the back of this
manual for your particular model.)

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.
