Abstract
An adjustable worktable fence for a jointer/planer machine is disclosed. The jointer/planer machine includes an elongated worktable having a rotary cutter mounted in alignment with and positioned below a transverse slot in the elongated table. An adjustable worktable fence extends generally longitudinally along the elongated worktable in generally transverse relationship to the rotating cutter. The adjustable worktable fence is mounted to an adjustable fence bracket that includes adjustable knobs for independent slidable movement of the adjustable worktable fence in generally transverse relationship to the rotating cutter as well as independent pivotal movement for bevel adjustment of the adjustable worktable fence relative to the rotating cutter. The jointer/planer machine also includes a table elevating mechanism for accurate elevational adjustment of the worktable relative to a supporting base. A chip collection system for the jointer/planer machine is further provided to facilitate vacuum disposal of wood chips.
