All: ?I routinely plane material down to .125” with my Dual 51 to prepare pieces for bent lamination construction…straight grain is pretty essential and some pieces will be devoured by the planer come what may…a bit of extra length is always wise, small bites of .0025 at the slowest feed rate…Terry

By coincidence, just yesterday I was able to thickness plane ash to .3" without a carrier board but less than that the machine want to turn the stock sideways and chew it up. With a carrier and thin double stick tape I easily hit my target .190". This with a 1999 Hammer C3-31, nothing special but the cutters are wicked sharp.
