Thousands of times, the good dad Carlo was right, that carpentry does not tolerate fuss and haste in work. It is necessary to use the plane efficiently, understanding with feeling and plainly in all the zenzubels, shpupubeljah and faltzgebel. Do you want to learn the secrets of the famous master?

The manual plane? It is so simple!
A manual tool designed for planing and processing of wooden materials and surfaces is a plane.
Using the manual plane, it is possible to give the wooden surface the necessary roughness and straightness, and also to create in the recess elements. Proper preparation of the tool for work does not mean just wiping it. It is necessary to learn how to use the instrument, and also to adjust it before starting work. To thoroughly study the abilities and capabilities of the joiner tool, we learn more about its design.
Planer Construction
Structurally, hand planes in wood consist of the following elements:
• Cutter
• Slots
• clamping
• chipbreaker
• Cutting depth adjuster
• Front and rear handles.
The cutter is a sharpened metal blade that is located under certain working angles to the machining surface. In the working position, the cutter is extended by an adjustable length from the housing. The cutter protrudes through the slot, through the slot during work out the chips. The clamp carries out the functions of pressing the tool to the body of the planer.
The function of the chipbreaker is the process of wrapping and breaking off the shavings. With the use of the front and rear handles, the work process on the hand plane itself is carried out.
The compact arrangement of the basic elements and their clear interaction create an efficient assembly capable of producing carpentry of any complexity.

Modification of plane planes by hand
There are many varieties and modifications of planes, which always cause healthy interest.
Plane structures have the following modifications:
• jointer
• face
• zenzubel
• sheet pile
• Folding beam
• additional plane.
Jointer manual is a plane with a double cutter. Fuganok is intended for final woodworking, therefore it is used when it is necessary to level a plane of considerable size. The tool box is equipped with a handle located after the cutting knife, and in the front part of the shoe is a plug for loosening the tool. At the initial passage of the surface, a shavings are formed by the fusant, consisting of individual pieces. The repeated passage forms a continuous chip, which signals the smoothness of the working surface.
End face planeequipped with a knife outfit adjustment element. The design of the planer has a stamped base with a working width of up to 40 mm. The lateral monolithic walls are perpendicular to the base of the planer. Cutter faceplate is set at an angle of 21 degrees. The adjusting wheel will allow you to set the depth of planing.
A variation of the plane is zenzubel, called in the household "selector". Due to the position of the cutter at a right angle to the base, the zenzubel allows you to choose rectangular sections, folds and quarters on the workpiece. The work of the plane begins with the marking of the quarter, carefully guiding the tool and getting a small ledge. In general, it is recommended to choose a quarter of the fold, and the final finishing should be done with a zenzubel.
By the way, the design of the planer allows you to reinstall the cutter on both sides of the base.
Shpuntubel It is intended for sampling on an edge or a wooden plane of a dowel in a preparation. Recall that the dowel is a rectangular narrow groove, located from the edge at a given distance. Structurally, a plane of this type allows you to choose a pile at a considerable depth. The depth of the groove can reach 12 mm, the adjustment of the plunging of the cutter into the wood is adjusted with the use of an abutment.
An additional shoe is used as a guide.
The width of the cutter of the standard puncher is up to 6 mm, the grooves can be located at a distance from the edge of the part to 100 mm.
Plane additionalis characterized by three working planes, namely from below, to the left and to the right. Between the front part and tool cutter the distance is minimal.
In addition to the above modifications of planes, the most popular is shavings. The shavings are a kind of hand plane intended for creating indirect, but convex-concave smoothly bent surfaces. The miniature chip design consists of two handles and a centrally positioned knife.
How to use a hand-held planer correctly
Do not hide, in order to surface treatment plane has passed safely, you need to accurately adjust the knife and properly move the tool on the work surface. Ideally, the twisted shavings coming out of the slot should be unobstructed.
To so beautifully "remove the shavings" it is necessary to set the knife with an easy tapping of the hammer. The blade of the cut must be parallel to the sole and protrude slightly (2-3 mm). Then the knife of the plane is fixed in the shoe with a clamp.
The worker should be located on the side parallel to the surface to be treated.
The position of the body of the worker makes movement together with the plane, with one leg exposed slightly forward. To avoid overturning the plane at the beginning and end of the wooden workpiece, it is necessary to intensify the impact on the front handle at the beginning of the movement, and at the end of the movement to the rear handle.
When working with an electric gun after securely fixing the workpiece, it is necessary to begin to plan from the edge, creating an unobstructed movement near the workpiece in parallel with the movement of the electric gun. Working nothing should prevent to hold the power tool with both hands.
Rules for storing the planer
To ensure high-quality and long-term operation of the hand plane, it is necessary to observe certain storage rules. As suggested by professional carpenters, the blades of the planer knives spoil from unwanted contact with any objects.
During breaks in the tool it is recommended to put the tool on the side, on a wooden stand. With a long break in the work and storage of the hand plane, as well as its transportation, it is recommended to remove the knife inside the shoe.
This will eliminate the possibility of blunting the cutting edge when coming into contact with foreign objects. Professional carpenters store planes in special tool boxes. Therefore, for each subsequent work that is to be carried out, the plane is ready for finishing.
