SPECIALIST PLANES

BLOCK PLANE

A block plane is a lightweightgeneral purpose plane which

is used one handed, used forlight trimming work.

Available in either wood ormetal.

When replacing a block-planeblade, the blade is positionedwith the bevel uppermost.

BULL NOSE PLANE

This is a small rebate planeand can be obtained with orwithout a adjustable blade.

The main advantage of thistype of plane is that with theblade being so close to thefront of the plane, it canwork in stopped rebates, in

some models the front of theplane can be removed toallow the cutting iron to triminto the corners of a stoppedrebate.

REBATE PLANE

This is a sophisticated rebate plane with an adjustable guide fence anddepth gauge. The cutter can be mounted in two positions one ofnormal use and one near the toe for planning to the end of a stopped

rebate. This type of plane is also fitted with a spur that scores ahead of the

blade when rebating across the grain. To cut a rebate, start planning at the far end of the work with short

strokes, keeping the fence pressed against the work, move backwardsgradually lengthening the stroke.

Plane until the depth gauge prevents the gauge from removing more

timber.

PLOUGH PLANE

This is a specialised planedesigned to cut groves andmouldings. Square edge cuttersfrom 3 12 mm wide are held

together in the plane by a slidingclamp, and adjusted up and downby a knurled screw.

This plane is fitted with a guidefence and a depth gauge.

This is used in a the sameformat as a rebate plane, iestart planning at the far end ofthe work piece working itbackwards.

SPECIALIST PLANES

HAND ROUTER

Mainly used for levelling thebottoms of housings as used

in Staircase Construction.

This plane is designed to beused with both hands, once ahousing has been cut themain waste is removed bychiselling, then the Router isused to ensure that thebottom of the housing is at auniformal depth.

SPECIALIST PLANES SIDE REBATE PLANE

This is a miniature plane thatis used for increasing thewidth of grooves andhousings.

It is used vertically with theblades skimming the sides ofthe groove or housing.

Care must be taken with this

plane to ensure that youalways plane with thedirection of the grain of thetimber.

SHOULDER PLANE

This type of plane is asmaller version of a RebatePlane, it has a veryaccurately machined body

with both sides perfectlysquare to the sole.

This plane is best used on itsside to trim the shoulders ofa door rail etc.

The cutting blade is set at alow angle so as to shave theend grain of the timber.

COMPASS PLANE

This type of plane is very similarto that of a standard smoothingplane with the exception thatthis plane is fitted with a

flexible steel sole. The positionof the sole is adjusted by meansof a large knurled nut to form aconcave or convex curve.

This plane is used in the samemanner to that of any other

bench plane, except that thegrain of timber has to bestudied rather more carefully, itis desirable to work with thegrain as far as possible.

SPECIALIST PLANES

SPOKESHAVE

These are used for the finishingof shaped work, there are twodifferent models, one being aflat sole which is used for

working convex curves or flatsurfaces. And the second onebeing a curved sole that is usedfor working concave curves.

Spoke shaves are used in thesame manner as that of aCompass Plane, this entails usinga spoke shave in the direction ofthe timber as far as possible.

WOODWORKING PLANESSAFETY TIPS

Use the appropriate plane for the work in hand.

Use Bench planes for stock removal, smoothing rough surfaces, truingand fine finishing

Use Jack planes or longer planes for longer length planing [I.e. doors]toproduce a straight edge.

For maximum cutting performance, place cutters in Bench planes bevelside down and cutters for Block planes bevel side up.

Always keep all blades sharp.

Rest a plane on its side when not in use. Store any plane with its cutter fully retracted to avoid cutter damage.
