Electric planeing

[howy1]

Quick question .. when planeing the bottom of doors do you start from one end and carry on through , or do you plane from both ends ?
i am just thinking will i rip the end off planeing straight through were as if i come from both end i wont if this sounds logical , cheers

work from both ends,i normally go about 3/4 on on side turn door over then come back,i will plane down to a line as much as i can,then finish off with a block plane if needed.
do not go all the way through,IT WILL SPLIT OUT.

yes each side to the middle but once the plane is fully on the door transfer the load to the back off the plane so when the nose is unsupported on the the other sides dip it doesn't drop causing a hollow in the middle
