Introduction
The wood hand plane is a simple tool that is
designed to shape wood or clean up edges for
joinery.
Your hand plane features a hardwood body,
a steel blade (also called an iron) and a wood
wedge for locking the blade in place. To achieve
the best results when using your specific type of
hand plane, we recommend reading books and
magazines, and researching the internet.

figure 1. Example of blade secured with
wedge.
3. slide the wedge over the blade and into the
throat (
figure 1) until the wedge is snug and
prevents the blade from moving forward.
4. Verify that the blade is parallel with the sole—
so an even amount of the blade protrudes
from one side to the other. adjust the blade
as needed so it will cut evenly. one side will
cut more than the other if the blade is not
parallel to the sole.
5. lightly tap the wedge with a mallet to set the
blade depth.

tool:

wearing safety glasses.
