Which stock form is Planed Square Edge (PSE)?

• A. PAR Planed All Round
• B. PSE Planed Square Edge
• C. Mouldings
• D. Dowel

Answer: (B)

Planed Square Edge describes timber that has been planed on four faces to give a rectangular section with smooth surfaces and square, sharp edges. This stock form is used when you need consistent, straight-edged pieces for precise fitting and easy planing later. The other terms describe different stock forms: Planed All Round is planed on all faces but with rounded edges; mouldings are decorative, shaped pieces; a dowel is a short cylindrical rod. So Planed Square Edge is the timber with four flat, planed faces and square edges.
