Introduction

The Model D3830 router plane is designed to square up and clean out a variety of joints, such as dados, half-lap joints, mortises, tenons, and dovetail sockets.

Your plane features cast iron construction, a 14" steel blade, a knurled depth-adjustment knob, and a two- handed grip. No assembly is required.

Setting the Blade Height

To set the blade height, loosen the depth adjustment knob shown in Figure 1, slide the square shaft of the blade down the required amount for the cut, then tighten the knob.

Operation

The desired cut is scribed into the workpiece, the waste area is scored, then the router plane cleans out the waste wood.

To use the router plane, do these steps:

1.Mark the length and depth of the cut you plan to make on the workpiece.

2.Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving.

3.Use a hand saw, knife or chisel to cut the joint to the correct depth, then score the waste portion.

4.Adjust the router plane blade to remove the smallest amount of material.

5.While holding the router plane with both hands, move it through the scored area (see Figure 2).

6.Lower the blade more and make additional passes to remove the remaining waste until the joint is clean.
