General Guide
When faced with a rough sawn piece of timber which requires planing on all 4 sides and taking down to a
specific finished dimension, follow this guide:
•
Set the machine up for planing.
•
Identify the flattest of the two wider faces on the timber. (Face 1 on diagram)
•
Pass that side over the planer as many times as necessary until a flat and smooth finish is achieved.
•
Hold the planed side firmly against the guide fence (set at 90 degrees to the bed) and pass the
narrow side (Face 2 on diagram) over the planer as many times as necessary until a flat and smooth
finish is achieved.
•
You should now have two planed sides at 90 degrees to each other.
•
Set the machine up for thicknessing.
•
Pass the timber through the thicknesser with the wider, already planed side (Face 1 on diagram)
facing down against the thicknessing bed. Continue until the desired thickness for the timber is
reached.
•
Finally, pass the timber through the thicknesser with the planed narrow side (Face 2 on diagram)
facing down against the thicknessing bed. Continue until the desired thickness for the timber is
reached.
