The depth of cut on a planer means the amount
of material that is removed from the top of
the workpiece as it passes underneath the
cutterhead.
The depth of cut is set by adjusting the distance
of the table below the cutterhead. This distance
is the thickness of the workpiece minus the depth
of cut. The planing depth of cut is controlled
by adjusting the height of the table using the
table height handwheel, the TABLE UP/DOWN
buttons, or the digital readout (see Figure 29).
Depth of Cut
Although the correct depth of cut varies
according to wood hardness and workpiece width,
we recommend the maximum depth of cut (per
pass) be no more than
1
⁄
16
". A series of light cuts
will give better end results and put less stress
on the planer than trying to take off too much
material in a single pass.
The depth of cut can be referenced directly from
the scale on the front of the planer, as shown in
Figure 29.
Note: The scale functions as a general guide only,
and is not intended for low-tolerance, precision
results. To ensure accuracy, use a tape measure or
caliper to measure your workpiece thickness after
each pass.

Handwheel
The table height handwheel is located on the
right-hand side of the machine and can be used
to manually raise and lower the table.
To use table height w/handwheel:

1. Push in handwheel and rotate slowly until it
engages with indented shaft located behind
it.
2. Rotate handwheel clockwise to raise table;
rotate handwheel counterclockwise to lower
table. Stop when scale indicates desired
elevation.
3. Pull handwheel out to disengage it from the
adjusting mechanism.
Note: Any time you change directions
with the handwheel, there will be a small
amount of backlash. So the first crank of
the handwheel after changing directions
will be slightly less than
1

". However, as
long as you move the handwheel in the same
direction during operations, backlash will
not be a factor.
