A flat metal bar called a gib rides between the mating dovetails on one side of the machine. The gib and its adjusting screws allow removing slop from the table attachment while still letting it slide on the ways for height adjustment.

What is a gib on a planer?
LSL 7502 001 0140. Planer knife gib from Logosol. These gibs (also known as chip breakers ) are used to secure planer knives in various Logosol machines. They are made of anodized aluminum and are wedged in place by the 10mm bolts.
What should you never adjust on a jointer?
Don’t adjust out-feed table. Don’t try to remove more than 1/16” at a time. Don’t joint stock less than 1/4” thick. Don’t joint material shorter than 10”.
Why is my jointer not cutting flat?
In some cases, this can be caused by infeed and outfeed tables that aren’t parallel. But a more common (and easier to fix) cause is an outfeed table that is just a bit higher than the jointer knives.
What are the 3 main operations on the jointer?
In this section, the student learns how to safely perform three basic operations using the jointer: edge jointing, jointing end grain, and surfacing.
What is a gib screw?
GIB® Grabber® 32mm x 7g Dual Thread Screws have been specifically developed for use as part of the GIBFix® Framing System but can also be used for standard fixing into timber or metal framing.
What causes jointer snipe?
Snipe on a jointer is caused by the outfeed table being set too low or too high relative to the cutter head. Snipe on both ends does not sound like a jointer to me. Snipe on a planer is caused by a multitude of scenarios dictated by which machine you have.
What type of Guard should be used on a jointer?
Each one of these machines has an ideal guard match. For example, jointers should be fitted with self-adjusting guards.
How much should a jointer take off?
Again, the maximum cut will depend on the width and density of the workpiece, but I generally don’ t remove more than about 1⁄8″ at a time. For pieces that aren’t much longer than your infeed table, hook your heeled pushblock onto the trailing end of the board.
How long should a jointer plane be?
Jointer planes are typically 20 to 24 inches (510 to 610 mm) long, and are the longest hand planes commonly used. Under the Stanley Bailey numbering system #7 and #8 planes are jointer planes.
What is the shortest board you are allowed to run through the thickness planer?
6. The shortest board should be the distance between the infeed and outfeed roller, plus 2 inches (12” for the KCWG Planer).
When edge jointing never make a cut deeper than a?
7. Do not use the jointer for cuts deeper than 1/16 inch. An injury could result if the material was thrown from the machine due to a deeper cut.
