Q: How do you set up a plane like this one?
Set the double iron's projection with light hammer taps on the wedge and blade, checking the cut on scrap before working your project piece.
24P1102 - E.C. Emmerich Wooden Try Plane
Nothing represents tradition in woodworking like the wooden plane, with many design elements that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
One of the reasons for their enduring popularity is that they are lighter than comparable steel planes and are therefore less tiring to use.
In addition to jointing edges, this 550mm (21 5/8") long plane is well suited for levelling large boards. It has a beech body with a hornbeam sole, a closed rear tote made of beech, and a wedged 48mm (1 7/8") wide double iron set bevel-down at a 45° bed angle. The blade is adjusted by light hammer taps to set angle and projection, a process that permits fine, quick adjustment.
Made in Germany by E.C. Emmerich, the manufacturer of the finest wooden planes available today.
Not available for shipment to Québec.
Set the double iron's projection with light hammer taps on the wedge and blade, checking the cut on scrap before working your project piece.
Push it along the board's edge or face with steady, two-handed pressure to joint or level long surfaces flat.
Hone the bevel on a sharpening stone at its existing 45° pitch, then hone the back flat before reinstalling the wedge and iron.
This wooden try plane is lighter than a steel equivalent, which reduces fatigue during long jointing sessions, while the beech body and hornbeam sole still hold up to repeated use.
