If the machine stalls or the workpiece gets stuck:
Headstock height is set too low. Stop the machine and wait for the machine to come to a complete
stop. Raise the headstock and remove the workpiece. Decrease the depth of cut, and restart from
step 3.
5. If the workpiece is feeding properly, wait until the entire workpiece clears the outfeed roller, then
remove the work piece.
6. After the initial pass, measure the thickness at the midsection of the workpiece.
If more material needs to be removed, continue with the following steps.
7. If you need to remove a lot of material, run a few passes with deeper cuts, then finish with a light
pass with shallow cuts and slow feed rate.
8. Turn on the digital readout (DRO), and use the INC mode to measure the depth of cut for each pass.
If your DRO is already running in INC mode, you can reset the readings by switching to ABS mode
and then come back to INC mode.
9. Using the DRO as depth gauge, lower the cutterhead. Each pass should remove no more than 1/8”
for workpiece wider than 6”, and no more than 3/16" for workpieces 6” or less. Reduce maximum
depth of cut for harder wood types.
10. Upon completion of each pass, reset the reading of DRO. Use a caliper to measure workpiece’s mid-
section thickness, and decide the depth of cut for the next pass.
11. Repeat the process until the desired thickness is achieved.
Turn machine off when operation completes.
