Traditional Asian Wooden Round Planes

These items are discontinued. Available while quantities last.

These versatile planes are used for working radiused profiles. They smooth the inside of coves and coopered work or cut flutes when run along a fence. The hardwood bodies are contoured for a comfortable grip on either the push or pull stroke.

Suitable for hardwoods as well as softwoods, they have tight mouths to minimize tear-out. Hardened to Rc60 for durability, and secured by a wedge and cross pin, the forged high-carbon steel blades are ground to closely match the sole curvatures; you need only lap the faces to finish sharpening them. Blade setting is done with gentle taps from a light hammer – a process that may seem daunting at first, but once learned allows positive fine adjustment (instructions included).

With the exception of the machine-mortised throat, the planes are shaped and finished by hand. The mouths are set farther back in the body than European wooden planes, affording a more positive registration on the wood being planed.
