Planing


WARNING:
Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood
with loose knots. Do not plane wood that is
severely knotted or warped.
Your DW733 works best with at least one
flat surface.
For optimal results, plane both sides of your
workpiece to reach the desired thickness.

WARNING: Feed the workpiece in the direction of the
grain (Fig. G).
Follow the depth of cut and width guidelines shown in the table below.

Snipe
Snipe is a depression made when the ends of the workpiece
contact the cutters. To avoid snipe:
Make sure the extension tables are level with the
main table.
Keep the workpiece level throughout the
planing operation.
Feed the workpiece flat against the tables.
Warping (Fig. H1–H4)
If your workpiece is only slightly warped, plane both sides to
produce the desired thickness.
Bowed workpieces (Fig. H1, H2)
The feed rollers and cutterhead will temporarily flatten the
workpiece (Fig. H1). The bowed shape, however, will return
after planing (Fig. H2).
To remove the bow, use a jointer.
