5 Wakitori plane

1.Wakitori plane, Hibukura plane

The side of the ditch is used for Shaving. A plane blade like a hollow sword is prepared so that the blade tip appears on the side of the table, and there are two types of right and left depending on the direction of use. The cross section of the table is a shape in which the upper end is slightly wider and durable, and the lower end is gradually narrowed. The lower end is a flat plane with a narrow width, and the side of the wide groove is used for Shaving. The one that has become so thin that the lower end surface does not remain is called a Hibikura plane, which is used to cut the side of a thin groove or a narrow corner.
