EDGE CHAMFERING
Your planer has two precision machined grooves in the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood. It's
I a good idea to try a piece of scrap wood before doing Finish work.

PLANING WIDE PIECES
The width of the planing blade is 3-1/4" (82mm). When planing a piece of wood wider than the planer
blade, a smoother Finish can be attained by rounding the edges of the blade as shown in Figure 13.
NOTE: Rounding these edges will slightly decrease the planing width.
