How is wood prepared?

	Raw wood intended for use in a variety of projects goes through a process of chipping and leveling before it can be further shaped and processed to fit a woodworking project. Often, electrically powered machines are used for this procedure, but planes are still used in some workshops and by some craftsmen.
What is Calibration and Calibration?
	Sizing means cutting the wood to the right size, whether it's the standard size the wood is sold in or the size that's right for a particular woodworking project.
	Dressing means that every surface and edge of a piece of wood is perfectly rectangular or "square". Each piece of stock has two sides or sides, two edges and two ends.
	What are faces, edges and ends? The front side of a piece of wood is its two large long sides, the edges are its long narrow sides, and the ends are its two short sides.
	When is a square not a square? A piece of wood that was "square" is usually not actually square in shape, but square in the sense that each of its sides and edges is perpendicular—either at 90 degrees or at right angles—to adjacent edges.
	Power tools and hand saws Large power tools such as table saws, a planer (also known as a thicknesser) and thicknesser (or thicknesser), and sometimes a handheld hand saw, are used to initially cut the rough material to size.
	However, some raw material may be too large to process in the machine. For example, most jointers can stock a maximum of 150mm (6") or 200mm (8") widths.
	Raw material, which is wider than the capacity of machine tools, is often initially processed with a hand planer.
	When enough wood has been reduced, it can be sent to the jointer, unless the operation is done entirely by hand, in which case other hand planers are used to further reduce and level the wood.
Various states of wood
	The various states of timber as it is prepared for sale or use in a project can be summarized as follows: 1 - raw material or rough cut Wood has a rough surface treated with an electric saw or a hand saw.
	2 - Planed square edge (PSE) Only one edge is precisely planed, which allows you to place wood in a thicknesser or mark and cut other edges exactly in relation to the first.
	3 - Planed on both sides (PBS) Both sides are planed, but not the edges, which are left roughly sawn.
	4 - Planed on all sides (PAR) All sides and edges are planed straight and even, leaving a relatively smooth surface and the wood is ready for use.
	Wood is available for purchase at all four stages. Hand planers for wood often play an important role in preparing the wood in this way and then further sizing and smoothing the wood, as well as cutting and smoothing any grooves, grooves, moldings and chamfers as the woodworking project progresses.
Aircraft order
	Hand planers can be used in sequence on each side and edge of roughly sawn wood. Each newly flattened surface becomes, in effect, a reference point, ensuring that the next side or edge is "square"—perpendicular to its neighbors and parallel to the opposite side or edge. Here is Wonkee Donkee's guide to how to use the plane:
	1 - Scrub plane The scrub is used primarily to quickly remove large amounts of wood from raw material.
	2 – Jack the plane The jack continues to work on reducing, but more accurately and smoothly.
	3 - Nasal plane The front plane is longer and can cut high points, overlapping low points, gradually straightening the wood.
	4 - Connection plane A jointer, or trial planer, performs the final "levelling," giving a perfectly straight surface or edge.
	5 - Smoothing plane The sanding planer gives the wood a final smooth surface. Sometimes you can also use a scraping planer or polishing planer with the blades set at a very high angle for an even finer finish.
