Cutting Rabbets
For cutting rabbets, use the the sliding section to both
support the blade and to keep the cut parallel, as shown
in
Figure 11
.
1. Install the rabbeting blade in the plane and set the
depth of cut (determined by the blade projection past
the bottom edge of the skate).
2. Bring the sliding section in under the blade such that
it will run on the workpiece.
3. Position the fence to establish the width of the rabbet
from the edge of the workpiece.
4. Set the depth stop on the body to determine the
resulting depth of the rabbet below the surface of
the workpiece.
Cutting Flutes
For cutting fl utes, remove the sliding section (and
use the small blade guide knob to support the blade).
The fl uting blade is offset and will be centered on the
body skate.
1. Install the fluting blade in the plane and set the depth
of cut (determined by the blade projection past the
bottom edge of the skate).
2. Position the fence to locate the flute at the desired
distance from the edge of the workpiece.
3. Set the depth stop on the body to establish the
resulting depth of the flute below the surface of the
workpiece, as shown in
Figure 12
.
