Depth Stops
Allows quick and repeatable adjustments for thickness
planing. Four settings are available: 5/32”, 1/4", 1/2", and
3/4".
To plane stock to the thickness of the above:
1. Raise carriage as needed.
2. Move the lever to the desired thickness setting.
3. Lower carriage until resistance is felt when turning the
elevation crank.
Components for Planing Wood
This diagram shows components involved in planing a piece of wood:
How it works:
1. When the workpiece enters the planer, the infeed roller [A] pulls the workpiece towards the
cutterhead [B].
2. Cutterhead then cuts on the workpiece.
3. Wood chips and dust generated by the cutterhead are collected by the chip breaker [C] and diverted
towards the dust hood [D]. An internal chip blower [E] then pushes the debris out of the dust hood.
4. As the workpiece moves past the cutterhead, the outfeed roller [F] pulls the workpiece away from
the planer.
IMPORTANT
Do not force the carriage to go below the height limited by the depth stop.
Permanent planer damage may occur, and workpiece planed may have one side
thicker than another.
