Squaring

21-13. To square stock, start by squaring one corner
on a jointer. Joint two adjacent sides so that they
are exactly 90° apart.

The planer
can also be used to square turning stock, furniture legs,
and posts. Start by rough-cutting your stock square, leaving
at least 1/8" extra stock for planing. Square one corner of
the stock on a jointer, jointing two adjacent sides so that
they are exactly 90° apart (Figure
21-13).
On the
end grain of the stock, mark the sides opposite the joined
sides S1 and S2. Set the depth of cut on the planer; then
plane the stock with side S1 up. Without changing the depth
of cut, make a second pass with side S2 (Figure
21-14). Continue in this manner until you have planed
the stock to the desired dimensions. If you wish to square
two or more boards, you can combine this procedure with the
procedure for "Planing Boards to Identical Thicknesses," described
earlier in this article.
