Plane [kanna]

Kanna

6 planes

1.Outer round plane, Uchimaru plane

The lower end of the table curved outside is called the outer circle plane, which is used to cut the concave curved surface. The lower end of the table curved inside is called an inner circle plane, which is used to cut convex curved surfaces. The blade tip of the plane blade is also in an arc shape similar to the table. Depending on the type of arc, there are Fukamaru (also called Sotomaru or Uchimaru) and Jikumaru (Totomaru).

2.Warped plane

The blade of the flat plane is prepared in a stand with the shape of the flat plane slightly smaller and the side bent so as to be curved outside. A large curved surface is used for Shaving. A warped plane that is also a outer circle is called a four-way warped plane, and a Uchimaru one is called a boat bottom plane. Many of these are small.

3.Various surface planes

It is used to cut various moldings on square and board materials, that is, to chamfer. There are many types because it is necessary to take various aspects (Fig. 9). The lower end of the table is made according to the required surface, and the sharpened blade is prepared on the same blade tip as this surface. The main part of the corner is used for the Shaving, with a Ruler to prevent the shaking of the stand during work. In Ruler, there is a triangular Ruler sandwiching the corners of the material on both sides of the bottom, and a movable and adjustable surface shape. In some cases, two blades were prepared to take a complicated side.
