Plane [kanna]

Sir

7 Various planes

1.Ingoplane

I can't do it.

There are two pairs, a plane (for female trees) that lacks a pedestal and part of the Ruler, and a plane (for male trees) that cuts the convex surface (for male trees). In order to prevent wind and rain from entering the shutters and glass doors, use a concave surface on one side of the adjacent frame of the fittings and a convex surface on the other so that it closes without gaps. Some Ruler can adjust with screws. Some of the blades for male trees are prepared with two blades arranged side by side. The uneven surface has a square shape and a round shape, and the circle is often used for Western-style fittings.

2.Sane plane

It has almost the same structure as the male tree of the Ingo plane. The convex surface of the Ingo plane is slightly sloped like a trapezoidal shape, but the splash plane creates a convex surface at right angles. It is used to create a convex surface on one side when sticking the floorboard. In some cases, a table with two blades arranged side by side breaks in the center, so that the width of the face can be versed with screws. This is called a free plane.

3.Kiguchi Plane

Kiguchi (with torso) is used for Shaving. A blade similar to a flat plane is prepared diagonally so that the blade tip appears on one side of the table. Similar to the fly plane, but the fly plane emphasizes the edge of the corner, whereas the inclination of the blade is opposite and the original cut first. This is suitable for cutting hard Kiguchi. In some cases, the plane may be replaced with the same purpose as the Kiguchi plane, and the Kiguchi plane and the plane may be called a plane with a torso.

4.Plane

It has a shape like a round corner of the plane. Used when making makeup with a pattern like chona on the material. There is a right and left.

5.Nanjing plane

I'm sorry

Used to cut complicated surfaces with many reversals, such as sculptures such as furniture and curves.

6.Buried lateral groove plane

Let's get rid of it.

When burying a hard tree at the bottom of the groove, it is used to cut a thin groove for buried wood on the side of the groove.
