Info and Guides

Blades: 3x 15 inch HSS blades

How to operate

Connect the dust collection hose
Set the height of the table. Your board should pass just underneath the metal plate in the middle
If your board is particularly long, set up support rollers on the infeed and outfeed sides to match the current height
Turn the dust collector on
Turn the planer on
Feed your board in straight until the rollers grab it and start to pull it
Move towards the outfeed side to support the end of it as it comes out
Once the board has exited the planer, carry it back to the in feed, adjust the height either an eight of a turn or a quarter of a turn
Make another pass, and repeat steps 6 through 8 until the board is the desired thickness
Turn off the planer and dust collector. Sweep up any chips around the planer. You can leave the dust collection hose connected
