- Proper Feed Rate: Use a consistent and appropriate feed rate for the type of wood and desired cut depth. Avoid forcing the material through the planer.
- Shallow Passes: For best results and to extend blade life, take multiple shallow passes rather than one deep pass, especially on hard or wide stock.
