Tips for using Ulmia planes
To get the best out of the planer, you should follow a few important tips:
Correct adjustment of the plane iron: The chip breaker should be set back from the plane iron by max. 0.5 mm. Start with a small chip removal. Check that the iron protrudes evenly from the sole with a wooden block measuring approx. 40 x 20 x 10 mm. A well-adjusted iron removes chips evenly.
Working in the direction of the grain: Always work in the direction of the wood grain to avoid tears and to achieve a clean surface. Working against the grain can lead to undesirable results.
Regular maintenance: A sharp iron makes work easier and significantly improves the results. Clean the planes thoroughly after use to remove shavings and resin residue.
