To set lower cutterhead depth of cut:
1. Calculate amount of material to remove from
bottom of workpiece to make a flat surface.
Maximum depth of cut for lower cutterhead is
15mm (0.600 in.).
Tip: When determining lower cutterhead
depth of cut, take into consideration final
workpiece thickness. Make sure enough
material will remain on workpiece after sur-
face planing for thickness planing operation.
2. While viewing lower cutterhead depth-of-cut
scale, use infeed table handwheel to lower
or raise infeed table to desired height. Turn
handwheel clockwise to lower and counter-
clockwise to raise infeed table.
The upper cutterhead performs the thickness
planing of the workpiece (see
Figure 41). Depth
of cut means the amount of material that is
removed from the top of the workpiece as it
passes underneath the upper cutterhead.

Setting Upper Cutterhead
The upper cutterhead is housed in the headstock
of the machine, and depth of cut is controlled by
adjusting the distance from the upper cutterhead
inserts to the planer table. This distance is the
thickness of the workpiece minus the depth of cut.
There are two methods for setting the upper
cutterhead depth of cut:
•
Use the digital control pad on the con-
trol panel (see
Figure 42) to enter a final
workpiece thickness.
