Abstract: A jointer system comprises a blade assembly, a base, an infeed table, and a measurement system. The base supports the blade assembly for rotation about a blade axis. The infeed table is movably supported by the base. The measurement system comprises a stop member, a gauge assembly, and a display assembly. The stop member defines a stop plane. The gauge assembly comprises a gauge, a pin member supported by the gauge such that the pin member is in contact with the stop member, and a display assembly. As the infeed table moves relative to the base, the gauge assembly generates a measurement signal indicative of vertical displacement of the infeed table relative to the base. The display assembly generates a display image based on the measurement signal.
Abstract: A fence system for a band saw. The band saw defines an actual cutting plane and has a table having a table surface defining a desired cutting plane. The fence system comprises a rail member, a base member, a locking assembly, a fence member defining a fence surface, and an adjustment system. The rail member is mounted on the table and defines a rail axis that is substantially perpendicular to the desired cutting plane. The base member is supported by the rail member. The locking assembly selectively locks the base member at a selected position along the rail axis. The adjustment system mounts the fence member to the base member at a selected angle relative to the rail axis. The base member defines a pivot point about which the fence member is rotated by the adjustment system, and the pivot point is adjacent to the rail member.
Abstract: A jointer fence assembly and method for a jointer system comprising a table assembly defining a table surface and a cutter gap and a cutter assembly arranged within the cutter gap. The jointer fence assembly comprises a fence member assembly defining a fence surface, a fence extension assembly, a fence tilt assembly, and a fence lock assembly. The fence extension assembly comprising a fence support that may be moved across the cutter gap. The fence tilt assembly is connected between the fence support and the fence member assembly such that the fence member assembly rotates about a fence pivot axis spaced above the table surface. The fence lock assembly is connected between the fence support and the fence member to allow a fence angle between the fence surface and the table surface to be locked into a desired angle.
