NOTE:
1. Planing for a smooth finish as well as thickness is
best accomplished by taking light cuts on the board.
2. For the best result, plane both sides of your
workpiece to reach the desired thickness.
3. If snipe happens, (snipe is a depression made when
the ends of the workpiece contact the cutters) make
sure the extension tables and support stands are
level with the main table and the flat side of the
workpiece is against the tables.
4. For bowed workpiece, removing the bow with a
jointer is recommended.
5. For cupped or warped workpieces, plane the top flat
and then turn it over and plane the bottom flat.
