OPERATION
7
• Adjust the depth of cut
to make an initial
light (0.5mm) cut.
Note
that one
revolution of the
height adjustment
handle is
equivalent to 2mm
depth of cut.
Switch on the
machine and wait
until the motor
has reached
full speed.
Note.
When making repetitive cuts the workpiece can be
passed over the top of the thicknesser utilising
the top rollers
Avoiding snipe
1. Snipe is caused by the board tilting slightly towards
the beginning and the end of the thicknessing operation.
2. It shows as lines at the ends of the board, parallel with
the cutterhead.
3. To avoid snipe, either support the board on extension
tables set to the same level as the in-feed and out-feed
tables, or mount the machine in a recess in the bench
so that the feed tables are level with the bench.
