Japanese Mini Round Shaping Plane

Discontinued. Limited stock.

This small plane is well suited to a variety of detailed shaping tasks, from making musical instruments and models to sculpting and building furniture, particularly moldings and chair seats.

Of traditional construction, its mouth is set well back in the white oak body to give fine control on the pull stroke, and it has a self-wedging laminated steel blade that is honed ready for use. Its tight mouth permits tissue-thin shavings, even in highly figured stock. Setting the blade is done with gentle taps from a light hammer – a process that may seem daunting at first, but once mastered provides positive fine adjustment (instructions included).

The plane measures 3 3/4" × 1 1/8" and has a 3/4" blade.
