For the correct planer blade setting
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade
is
set
properly and
securely. The blade must
be
mounted
so
that the cutting edge
is
absolutely
level,
that
is,
parallel to the surface of the rear base.
Below
are some examples
of
proper and improper
settings
.
(A) Front base (Movable
shoe)
(6)
Rear base (Stationary
shoe)
Although
this
side view cannot show
it,
the edges of the blades run perfectly
parallel to the rear base surface.
Cause: One or both blades fails to
have edge parallel to rear base
line.
Nicks
in
surface
to
rear base line.
Gouging
at end
~~~&~(
Cause
:
One or both blade edges pro-
trudes too far
in
relation to
rear base line.
Adjusting depth
of
cut
Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply
turning the knob on the front of the tool.
