Planer and Beveler - updated recommendations?

[penelopejane]

I searched around trying to find a thin piece of plastic that would work to reduce the depth of the cut for my planer, but never found one thin enough. Today I thought “I need it to be as thin as paper...”. Paper it is! This works! And it’s easy to adjust by changing the number of sheets of paper. I pushed the soap, on the paper, from right to left relative to the orientation of this photo of the planer.

Good idea. I use a plastic ice cream container cut up into flat pieces.
