OPERATION
CHAMFERING EDGES (FIG. 9)
FIG. 9
NOTE: This technique requires experience
to accomplish the project properly.
Practice on a piece of scrap wood before
attempting to chamfer a workpiece.
This planer has three V grooves in the front
base of the tool for cutting a 45° angle along
a corner, called a chamfer. Each V groove is
marked with a triangle to plane different size
chamfers.
: in the center of the front base to obtain a
large size chamfer.
: on the left side of the front base to obtain
a medium size chamfer.
: on the right side of the front base to obtain
a small size chamfer.
Place one of the V grooves on the corner
edge that you wish to chamfer. The planer
should be held at 45° and the corner should
be seated securely into the groove.
Keep the corner securely seated in the
V groove from the beginning all the way
through the cut.
NOTICE: Reduce feed rate for the cut and/
or reduce the depth of the cut, if the motor
begins to stall.
NOTICE: Practice first on a scrap piece of
material to gauge the correct feed rate and
the cutting depths.

Rabbeting Depth Guide
Rabbeting Depth
Rabbeting
Width
Rabbeting is creating a step on the edge of
a workpiece. When rabbeting, the rabbeting
depth guide will contact the unplaned
portion of the workpiece and help you
avoid planing deeper than needed. The
width of the rabbeting is controlled by the
edge guide. The final depth is achieved by
repeating the planning procedure until the
rabbeting depth guide contacts unplaned
portion of the workpiece. Plane the board
using multiple passes, as needed.
