Stock Inspection &
Requirements
Follow these rules when choosing and joint-
ing stock:
• DONOTjointorsurfaceplacestockthat
contains large or loose knots.
Jointing and surface planing with the
grain is safer for the operator and pro-
duces a better finish.

Note: If the grain changes direction along the

Scrape all glue off the workpiece before
jointing.
Remove foreign objects from the
workpiece.
Note: Wood stacked on a concrete or dirt
surface can have small pieces of concrete or
stone pressed into the surface.
• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried
before jointing.
Make sure your workpiece exceeds the
minimum dimension requirements, as
shown in Figure 35, before processing it
through the jointer, or the workpiece may
break or kick back during the operation.
Only process natural wood fiber through
your jointer.
