Blade Sharpening
The plow plane blades come with the face lapped and are ground with a 35° bevel.
Since the blade is installed bevel down, the cutting angle is determined by the bed
angle, in this case, 45°. Additional sharpening need only involve honing a small
micro-bevel.
Cutting Grooves
The small plow plane can control the width (A), depth (B) and position (C) of a
groove. Groove width is determined by the blade used; groove depth, by the depth
stop setting; and groove position, by the fence setting.
Depth of Cut
The depth of cut is the amount of material that is removed with each pass of the
plane, typically in the range from 0.005
" to 0.020 " , depending on the hardness of
the wood being cut. Flip the plane upside down and sight down the bottom of the
skate to see how far the blade is protruding. Adjust accordingly, tighten the lever
cap knob, and take a test cut in a piece of scrap wood to confi rm setting.
