Removing a precise amount of material from a board being planed.
If you are in the process of planning
wood and after repeated passes a point is
reached where you want to remove a
precise amount of material on the final
pass, follow this procedure. After the
next to the last pass do not touch the
head or height adjustment crank (24).
Press the ABS/INC button until the INC
appears above the reading and the
reading changes to 0.000 (25).
Unlock the headlock and crank down the
cutter head until the display shows the
amount of material you want to remove
on the last pass (26). Lock the cutterhead
lock and run the last pass. Pressing the
ABS/INC button again takes the readout
out of the INC mode and places it back
in the ABS mode. The reading on the
display will be the exact thickness of the
board you have just planed and your
planer’s calibration is maintained.
