Guide

Start from nothing and advance, never the other way round

People set a plane by eye, take a thick shaving, and back it off. Starting from no cut and advancing is slower once and correct every time afterwards.

Setting the depth

Retract the blade until it does not cut at all. Advance in tiny increments, testing on the wood, until a shaving just appears.

Lateral adjustment

Sight down the sole from the front. The blade should show as an even hairline. Correct with the lever before touching the depth again.

What a good shaving looks like

Translucent, full width, and continuous. If it is thick or breaks up, back off rather than pushing harder.
