## Introduction 

After timber has been processed with one **Flat Surface** and one **Straight Edge** by the Planer, the other surfaces can be made flat and square with this machine. 

## Two Good Reasons To Use A Thicknesser

**1 Flat Face:** This is a process of machining a **Flat Surface** **parallel** to the first already made with the Planer. This is automated by the machine's rollers and a cutting head, with the thickness of the board determined by the user manually adjusting the height of the bed. 

**2 Straight Edge:** Producing a second **Straight Edge parallel** to the first generated with the Planer makes a timber board completely square.  This is automated by machines rollers, and a cutting head, with the thickness of the board determined by the user manually adjusting the height of the bed. The height to width ratio is important in this operation, please consult a workshop technician for further guidance. 

***It is important not to use material shorter than 400mm in length in this machine.*** Please see the workshop technicians for further guidance and safe operation of this machine.
