C-3 Stationary Tools Flashcards
Jointer
- Used to remove warps and twists of a piece of wood to make its square and true
- also be used to rabbet, taper, bevel and chamfer
Infeed Table (jointer)
- made of mechanical cast iron
- hight of infeed is adjustable (depth of cut)
- Supports work as it is fed through cutter head
Outfeed (jointer)
- table at back of jointer that governs the straightness of material being passed through
- also supports work as its passed through table
Fence (jointer)
- attached to infeed table or the jointer frame
- works like table saw fence
- keeps work at a consistent angle as its fed through cutter
Cutterhead (jointer)
- Solid metal cylinder with three blades on it
- must be kept sharp to leave smooth surface
- length of knifes in cutterhead sets size of jointer
(common sizes are 150mm and 200mm)
Guards (jointer)
- guards cover parts of jointer blades that are not in u se
Frame (jointer)
- frame and also referred to as base, is made of heavy cast iron.
- supports all parts of jointer
Adjusting hand wheels and locks (jointer)
- jointers have two hand wheel adjusting units with locks on both of them
- handwheel on infeed table sets the depth of the cut
- handwheel on outfeed table sets the table hight of the knifes. normally set until knives need to be replaced
Rabbeting ledge (jointer)
attatchment to jointer on infeed table. gives extra support to material that is being rabbited `
Power switch ( Jointer )
turns jointer on and off
Fence controle handle (jointer)
handle that controls the fence and locks the fence in desired angles/positions along the table
Tilt scale and Pointer (jointer)
used to set the tilt of fence
- normally stops at 45 and 90 degrees
Slope and grain
- check angle of grain before use. jointer knives should be cutting with the grain
Joining crooked cupped or bowed wood
always place concave surface of crooked cupped or bowed board down. stabilizes board
Rabbeting (jointer)
- remove guard
- set fence to desired rabbet width (lock
- set depth of cut to desired
- make trial cut into piece of wood
if cutting in one pass reduce speed to prevent kickback
Cutting a Bevel (jointer)
Bevel: an edge bevel stretches from one end of the stock to the other
- tilt fence to desired angle
- lower infeed table to desired height
- proceed with cut
Cutting a Chamfer (jointer)
Chamfer: bevel that runs less then half the thickness of the workpiece
- tilt fence to desired angle
- lower infeed table to desired cut
- proceed with cut
thickness planer
Dresses lumber to uniform thickness
knive and cutterhead speed (planer)
in between 4000 and 20 000 rpm’s
Upper infeed roller (planer)
has surraded surface that grips lumber and forces it forward
upper outfeed roller (planer)
smooth and often rubber. pulls lumber through planer
Lower rollers (planer)
prevent lumoer from dragging too heavy on the table
Pressure bar ( planer )
spring loaded bar presses lumber to the surface of the table to prevent chattering. can be adjusted for different woods
Chip breaker ( planer)
prevents knives from tearing long slivers from wood
