PX|12 Quadtec:I Planer \ Machine Overview
Thickness Gauge
The top of the planer is a thickness gauge. Material thickness can be quickly identified by placing it on edge
into the various gauges and reading the corresponding measurement (Fig. 8).
Stock Removal Gauge
The Stock Removal Gauge on the front of the planer (Fig. 9) identifies the amount of material being
removed while the stock is being fed through the planer. 1/16” is the maximum stock removal rate and
may be less depending on the material being processed and the condition of the cutterhead knives.
To establish stock removal before planing, turn power OFF. Make sure cutterhead is not rotating. Slide
stock onto bed, under gauge. Lower carriage until desired stock removal appears on gauge. Pull stock
from machine. Process stock as described in “Operation”.
