The Model G0689 Planer allows the user to plane material from the surface of boards in precise increments. The depth-of-cut is adjusted with the cutterhead elevation crank and is measured by the cutterhead elevation scale or the depth-of-cut gauge. One turn of the crank raises or lowers the cutterhead 1⁄16".

Once the depth-of-cut is adjusted, the operator feeds the board into the infeed roller which pulls the board into the cutterhead, where material is removed. The outfeed roller then pulls the board away from the cutterhead. After the board is completely free from the outfeed roller, it can be returned to the infeed side of the machine. Larger workpieces can be passed across the return roll- ers on top of the machine.

The depth-of-cut is again adjusted, and the pro- cess is continued until the desired board thick- ness is reached.
