Japanese Smooth Hand Plane

Boost Me

Japanese planes are pulled, they can be pushed, but cutting control is better on the pull stroke.

This is my original design.

This model requires Veritas 25 degree Bevel-Up Bench Plane Blades.

The blade needs to be installed upside down (Bevel-Down)

Please slow down the cutting speed when using the plane, the heat generated by friction may soften the plane. If the base plate is uneven, you can use sandpaper to smooth it out on a flat surface.
