2. Inspect stock for soundness and grain direction (refer to Direction of Grain on
previous page).
3. et the infeed table for a cut of approximately1.5mm.
4. If the board is bowed (curved), place the concave edge down on the infeed table.
5. Feed the stock through the cutterhead, making sure the face of the stock is
completely flat against the fence and the edge is making solid contact on the infeed
and outfeed tables (Figure 21).
For wood wider than 3 inches – hold with fingers close together near the top of the
stock, lapping over the board and extending over the fence. For wood less than 3
inches wide – use beveled push blocks and apply pressure toward the fence. Keep
fingers near top of push block. everal passes may be required to achieve the
full bevel will probably take several passes.
Planer Operations
Depth of Cut
hickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating
a level surface parallel to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness that the
planer will produce is indicated by the scale and the depthof- cut gauge . Preset the
planer to the desired thickness of the finished workpiece using the gauge. he
depth-of-cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the planer table (C, Fig. 5) using the
handwheel (F, Fig. 5).
he quality of thickness planning depends on the operator's judgment about the
depth of cut.
he depth of cut depends on the width, hardness, dampness, grain direction and
grain structure of the wood.
he maximum thickness of wood that can be removed in one pass is 1/8” for
planning operations on workpieces up to 5-1/2” wide.
he workpiece must be positioned away from the center tab on the rollercase to cut
1/8”.
he maximum thickness of wood that can be removed in one pass is 1/16” for
planning operations on workpieces from 5-1/2” up to 12" wide.
For optimum planning performance, the depth of cut should be less than 1/16”.
he board should be planed with shallow cuts until the work has a level side. Once
