with the surface to be planed (Fig.
11). Doing this moves the location of
a potential divot off the workpiece
and on to the piece of scrap wood.
5. Feed the planer at a uniform and
reasonable rate that does not put
excessive strain on the motor or
blades, (do not pull the planer back
over the surface already cut.)
6. Use progressive cuts until you are
near the desired depth, and then re-
adjust to a thin cut for the final pass
to obtain a good surface finish.
overloaded. Reduce the pressure (feed
rate) or depth of cut to prevent possible
damage to the tool if the motor labors.
▶ Depth Of Cut And Feed Rate
The cutting depth (planing depth) is
determined by the difference in height
between the adjustable front shoe and
the fixed rear shoe of the planer. The
depth knob adjusts the front shoe,
which retracts and exposes the blade
and determines the amount of material
removed from the workpiece. The
cutting depth range is from 0 to 3/32"
(2.6 mm) per pass. (Fig. 1)
The appropriate depth of cut and feed
rate depends on the workpiece material:
To avoid clogging and/or damage to the
motor, a thinner cut and/or a slower
feed rate may be needed if the material
has any of these characteristics:
hardness; gumminess, sappiness,
moisture, paint, varnish and/or knots.
Also, when planing against the grain or
across the grain rather than with the
grain, a shallower cut and/or slower
feed rate is required. Whenever
possible, test by planing a similar piece
of scrap material.
Use multiple, progressive cuts to
achieve the total desired depth.
Start with a thin cut. If the planer moves
freely through the workpiece with no
excessive load on the motor, the depth
setting can be increased before the next
cut.
When near the desired total depth, re-
adjust the planing depth to a thin
setting for the final cut to obtain a good
surface finish.
