G0675 10" Jointer/Planer Combo Machine
The Model G0675 planer table moves approxi-
mately
1
⁄16" with one full turn of the handwheel.
Each graduated mark on the table height
handwheel represents 0.001" movement.
To use the planer:
1. Put on safety glasses.
2. Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface
plane the workpiece on the jointer until it is
flat—having the face flat will ensure that it
sits flat on the planer table during operation.
3. Adjust the table height to slightly lower than
your workpiece height to ensure the first
cut is as light as possible (approximately
1
⁄32"–
1
⁄16") .
4. Start the planer.

Operation
5. Place the flat side of the board down on the
table (on the left side, facing the front of the
machine), and feed the workpiece through
the planer—in the opposite direction as when
jointing (see Figure 39). Make sure not to
stand directly in front or behind the workpiece
to avoid kickback injury.
—If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the
planer, turn the planer OFF immediately,
allow it to come to a complete stop, remove
the workpiece, and repeat Steps 3–5.
6. Support the workpiece as it leaves the outfeed
end of the planer to reduce snipe.
7. Measure your workpiece thickness and adjust
the table height as necessary to take a lighter
or heavier pass, depending on your needs.
For most wood types,
1
⁄16" per pass is a good
cutting depth.
Note: Any time you switch directions with the
table height handwheel, there will be a small
amount of backlash—so the first crank of the
handwheel after switching directions will be
slightly less than
1
⁄16". However, as long as
you move the handwheel in the same direc-
tion during operation, backlash will not be a
factor.
