Description
These versatile planes are used for working radiused profiles. The round planes smooth the inside of coves and coopered work or cut flutes when run along a fence, and the hollow planes smooth convex profiles, ease corners, or radius edges. 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.
