Accurate results in woodworking depend on having surfaces that are flat, with opposing faces parallel to each other and adjacent faces perpendicular to each other. Once these surfaces are established, the wood can be safely and accurately processed with other equipment (table saw, planer, etc). | Accurate results in woodworking depend on having surfaces that are flat, with opposing faces parallel to each other and adjacent faces perpendicular to each other. You can use our [[Thickness Planer]] to create the parallel opposite sides.

=== Auxiliary fence === | |||
* The auxiliary fence is used for better control and push-pad clearance, when jointing low material or when material is better controlled by a low fence (Fig. 15 & 16). To operate this fence, with power OFF, slightly lift from top of main fence to unlock and rotate until it is securely against the table and side of the main fence. When not in use, rotate to top of fence and lower on top of fence to lock in place. (as per manual p22) | |||
