 | Under no circumstances should non-natural materials be used on the jointer. This includes; masonite, particle board, or various other man-made materials. Using these on the jointer will dull it very quickly. |

Jointer
A jointer is used to create a straight surface on a wooden board.
Basic Info
- Ownership: TBD, best contact persons are Greg Smith or Dave Scholl
- Location: The jointer should be stored in the Wood Shop. It is on a wheeled base so it can be rolled out to provide clearance for working with long boards.
- What it looks like:
Manufacturer Information
- Make/Model: Chiu Ting WJT-150 (6 inch jointer)
- Part Number: S/N 4932
Documentation
- Wikipedia has an excellent article on the Jointer.
- An online video that discusses jointer table/cutter alignment
Rules
- To prevent nicks on the blades, please check your board carefully and remove nails, screws, and any other metal bits.
- Work with pure wood only, please! Masonite, for example, will quickly dull the blades. Even plywood, particleboard, MDF, and the like will shorten the blade life because of the glue content.
Instructions

Turn it On
The power switch is located on the front of the base.

Maintenance
Two critical adjustments need to be maintained on the jointer. The infeed and outfeed tables need to be parallel to within 0.001 in. or so, and the blades need to be 0.001 in. higher than the outfeed table.
Things that Need to be Done
- The sawdust chute dumps directly onto the floor. Perhaps a box or a dust collection hose would make cleanup more convenient.
