Additional modifications to the jointer design
A few changes to the jointer design were needed because the cutter head used
had different dimensions from those used in small planers. In addition to that,
Ryszard made a few other changes to his jointer.
Using a sprung door hinge for the guard
Using a type of double hinge with internal springs, which allows an attached
door to swing in both directions, but the springs hold it closed and centered.
Outfeed roller
The outfeed table extends the effective length of the table. Useful for long stock
(as long as it's not too heavy)
The outfeed roller swings out of the way when not in use.
Low profile fence
A low profile fence allows for a better grip on small workpieces
on the jointer.
Depth gauge
The outfeed roller swings out of the way when not in use.
