1/8”.
The maximum thickness of wood that can be removed in one pass is 1/16” for planning
operations on workpieces from 5- 1/2” up to 12" wide.
For optimum planning performance, the depth of cut should be less than 1/16”.
The board should be planed with shallow cuts until the work has a level side. Once a level
surface has been created, flip the lumber and create parallel sides.
Plane alternate sides until the desired thickness is obtained. When half of the total cut has been
taken from each side, the board will have a uniform, moisture content and additional drying will not
cause it to warp.
The depth of cut should be shallower when the workpiece is wider.
When planning hardwood, take light cuts or plane the wood in thin widths.
Make a test cut with a test piece and verify the thickness produced.
Check the accuracy of the test cut before working on the finished product.
Precautions
A thickness planer is a precision woodworking machine and should be used
on quality lumber only.
Do not plane dirty boards; dirt and small stones are abrasive and will wear out the
blade.
Remove nails and staples. Use the planer to cut wood only.
Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes knots hard. Knots can come lose and jam the
blade. Any article that encounters planer blades may be forcibly ejected from the planer creating a
risk of injury.
Preparing the Work
A thickness planer works best when the lumber has at least one flat surface. Use a jointer to
create a flat surface.
Twisted or severely warped boards can jam the planer. Rip the lumber in half to reduce the
magnitude of the warp.
The work should be fed into the planer in the same direction as the grain of the wood.
Sometimes the wood will change directions in the middle of the board. In such cases, if possible,
cut the board in the middle so the grain direction is correct.
Do not plane a board that is less than 6" long. It is recommended that when planning short boards you
butt them end to end to avoid kickback and reduce snipe.
Feeding the Work
The planer is supplied with planer blades mounted in the cutterhead and infeed and
outfeed rollers adjusted to the correct height. The planer feed is automatic; it will vary slightly
depending on the type of wood.
Preparation:
Feed rate refers to the rate at which the lumber travels through the planer.
The operator is responsible for aligning the work so it will feed properly.
Raise or lower the rollercase to get the depth of cut desired.
The surface that the planer produces will be smoother if a shallower depth of cut is used.
Stand on the side that the handle is attached.
Boards longer than 24” should have additional support from free standing
material stands.
