Just bought my first electric planer.

I'm not managing to get an even plane throughout the length of the wood
beam I'm planing. I think I'm going to have to clamp a length of wood to
the side of the beam I'm planing and use the rebate feature using this
wood. I suupose that what folks do to ensure the plane will not go below
a level determined by the rebate setting.

Is this a hand-held planer or a large one you feed boards through.?

Hand held.

I can see that if I clamp a length of wood adjacent to the wood beam I'm
planing, I can use the rebate feature to limit the depth of how much I
plane off the beam. And so get an even plane along the length of the
beam.
