Using a Planer Thicknesser to Achieve 90º to All Adjacent
Sides of the Timber
The most common use of a planer thicknesser is to plane timbers to
accurate sizes and with all adjacent sides at 90º to one another. Using
the methods already described in this manual and following the process
below, any number of pieces can be planed and dimensioned to exact
sizes. This preparation gives the best base possible for carrying out projects
successfully.
Fig. 11.27 shows an exaggerated cross section of a typical rough-sawn
piece of timber before being machined.
Plane surface C to be flat using the machine in the planing mode, Fig.
11.28.
Place surface C against the fence, which is set to 90º, and plane surface B
until it is at 90º to surface C, Fig. 11.29.
Once these two adjacent faces are at 90º to each other, the remaining
opposite faces can be thicknessed parallel by using them as a
reference, Fig. 11.30.
