2 flat plane

Plane to cut surfaces such as boards and square timber smoothly. There are one blade and two blades. The plane was originally a single blade, but in the latter half of the Meiji era, two planes (combination plane) with a hold blade to prevent reverse eyes were devised and became common. At present, a single plane is used for high-quality finishes that make shaving.

A flat plane can be used for rough drawing planes for rough cutting materials, a medium-sized planes for smooth surfaces, and a finishing planes for final finishing (upper planes). In order to make a rough plane, the number of plane blades is slightly larger, and the blade opening is wider so that thick scraps can be produced. In the order of the middle work plane and the finishing plane, the blade tip is reduced and the blade opening is narrowed. The lower end of the table is also adjusted according to each.

Of the flat planes, those with a blade width of 3 inches or more are called large planes, those with a short base of 1 inch and 8 minutes or less are called small planes, and those with a very small base are called bean planes (other than flat planes) In each type, small ones are called small planes, and extremely small ones are called bean planes). In addition, with a normal blade width, those with a base of about 40 cm are called long planes, and those with a base planes of about 35 cm are called medium planes.

A plane with a plane blade at almost right angle (90 degrees) on a table. It is a single blade, and the table is shorter than an ordinary flat plane. A plane is an inevitable tool that requires accurate adjustment of the lower end of the table. The fixing plane is used when sharpening the lower end of the plane. Also, hardwood such as sandalwood and ebony is used in Shaving.

A plane for cutting several Kumikos such as shoji door at the same time. There is a Ruler that can be removed on both sides of the lower end of the flat plane, and several Kumiko can be cut to the thickness of this Ruler. By replacing Ruler, various dimensions can be cut. In order to prevent the Kumiko from rising during work, a spring-gimmick holding tree is attached near the blade mouth and the material surface is pressed downward.
