OPERATION
(Cont.)
EDGE CHAMFERING
See Figure 7.
Your planer is designed with a groove in the front
shoe. The purpose of this groove is chamfering
edges. Before making a cut on good lumber, make a
few cuts on scrap lumber to determine the amount to
be removed from the board. Holding the depth ad-
justing knob with your left hand and the rear handle
with your right hand, place the groove on the surface
to be cut and move the tool slowly into the work.
Maintain downward pressure to keep your planer flat
at the beginning and the end of the work surface.
