Setting the Depth Stop
The depth of the groove is determined by the depth stop setting. To set the
depth stop, loosen the depth stop knob, slide the depth stop to the desired
position, and retighten the knob. Maximum groove depth:
1 /
2
" .
When cutting a groove, continue making passes with the plane until
the depth stop contacts the workpiece and the blade is no longer
cutting material.
Setting the Fence
The position of the groove (i.e.,
the distance from the edge of
the workpiece to the groove) is
determined by the fence setting.
Loosen the two fence locking
knobs and slide the fence until
the distance from the face of the
fence to the outside edge of the
blade is equal to the required
groove position. Retighten the
fence knobs. Maximum distance
of 1

Cutting Small Rabbets
When using the small plow plane
for cutting small rabbets, the outer
edge of the blade is recessed in the
pocket in the face of the fence and
the width of the rabbet is determined
by the distance from the fence to the
inner edge of the blade. As such,
the resultant rabbet is narrower than
the width of the blade (e.g., the
1 /
4
"
blade yields a rabbet approximately
7 /
32
" wide). As with cutting grooves,
the depth is controlled by the depth
stop setting.
