rabbeting
Rabbeting is creating a step on the edge of a workpiece.
Rabbeting is typically used in door and window jambs.
When rabbeting, the Rabbet Depth Gauge will
contact the unplaned portion of the workpiece
and help prevent planing too deeply.
1. Carefully set the Rabbet Depth Gauge (85)
to the desired rabbet depth. Use a
straightedge (sold separately) to adjust the
Rabbet Depth Gauge to the desired distance from
the Rear Base Plate (61), see
Figure i
. Tighten
the Rabbet Depth Gauge Knob (86) securely after
adjustment. The maximum rabbet distance is 5/16".

2. Set the Fence to determine the
width of the rabbet cut.
3. Follow the General Operating Instructions on
page 12, with the Rabbet Depth Gauge positioned
over the unplaned portion of the board.
Plane the board using multiple passes, if needed.
The Rabbet Gauge presses against the
unplaned portion of the board and helps the
planer cut only to the specified depth.
chamfering Edges
note:
This technique takes requires experience to accomplish properly.
Practice on a piece of scrap wood before attempting to chamfer a workpiece.
This planer has a groove in the Adjustable Base Plate
for cutting a 45° angle along a corner, called a chamfer.
1. Place the groove on the corner edge to be cut.
Hold the Planer at a 45° angle and seat the corner
of the workpiece securely into the groove.
2. Follow the General Operating Instructions
on page 12. Keep the corner securely
seated in the groove from the beginning
all the way through the cut.
