Uses for the Belsaw 9103 Planer
- Use the saw to rip lumber that's up to 2 1/4 inches thick and up to 12 1/4 inches wide. You can cut both soft and hard woods for professional or hobby purposes. As long as whatever you're constructing doesn't require wood with larger dimensions than the saw's specifications, you can rip lumber for items such as frame boards, deck boards and floorboards.
- Use the planer to finish a piece of board so that it has the same uniform thickness from one end to the other end. Plane boards that are no more than 12 1/4 inches wide and 6 inches thick, and no less than 7 inches long. The thinnest board you can plane is 3/16 of an inch, and the deepest plane cut is also 3/16 of an inch. Use the planer to finish boards to a smooth finish instead of sanding them with a handheld or power sander.
- Use the 1-inch cutter bits to mold joints, table edge, tongue-and-groove, mullion casings, crowns, coves, battens and other intricate cuts into boards for all kinds of applications. Use multiple pattern cutting knives to increase production with each cut, cutting four quarter-rounds at once rather than only one, or for cutting two different patterns at the same time from one piece of board.
- Use the well-balanced power feed and feed rollers to assist you in making wood cuts, whether you're ripping, planing or molding. The standard speed for the power feed is up to 12 feet per minute, with a 2-horsepower motor. An optional capacity of up to 22 feet per minute is possible with a 3- to 5-horsepower motor. With standard power-feed speed, you get 80 knife cuts per inch, allowing you to plane wood to a very fine finish.
