Abstract
A jointer-planer is fabricated of a single generally U-shaped die-casting of integral one-piece construction extending generally the full length and breadth of the machine and to which each of the other major components are directly attached having a base section defining the out-feed table and two parallel, spaced apart side edge leg portions extending past the cutter assembly and on opposite sides of the in-feed table so that the in-feed table is disposed between the elongated side edge leg portions. One of the elongated side edge leg portions is provided with a pair of longitudinally spaced apart fence mounting bracket portions of integral, one-piece construction therewith having generally arcuate outer surfaces providing a virtual pivot axis about which a molded longitudinally extensive elongated fence of integral, one-piece construction is positioned. A pair of locking screws hold the fence to the mounting bracket while a guard for the cutter assembly is pivotally mounted to the other of the elongated side portions of the out-feed table casting. The motor, cutter assembly, in-feed table assembly, and base are each directly also mounted to the U-shaped die-casting.
