A wooden plane is entirely wood except for the blade. The iron is held into the plane with a wooden wedge and is adjusted by striking the plane with a hammer. A transitional plane has a wooden body with a metal casting set in it to hold and adjust the blade. A metal plane is largely constructed of metal, except, perhaps, for the handles.
A razee plane is a style of wooden hand plane which has a section of its rear cut away, so that the plane has a lower handle. This design makes the plane lighter, with a lower centre of mass, and puts the handle closer to the workpiece and cutting edge – giving the user greater control.
A woodworking float (more rarely used in silversmithing), [1] also called a planemaker's float, is a tapered, flat, single cut file [2] of two types: edge float and the flat sided float [3] which are traditional woodworking tools generally used when making a wooden plane. The float is used to cut, flatten, and smooth (or float) key areas of ...
The terms try plane, trying plane, and trueing plane have been in use since at least the 19th century. [3] As with other hand planes, jointer planes were originally made with wooden bodies. But, since the development of the metal-bodied hand plane at the end of the 19th century, wooden-bodied jointers have been largely superseded.
Plane (tool), a hand tool used to produce flat surfaces by shaving the surface of the wood; Thickness planer (North America) or thicknesser (UK and Australia), a woodworking machine for making boards of even thickness; Planer (metalworking), a metalworking machine-tool having a reciprocating work table and a stationary cutting tool
Bedrock is a design of bench planes developed by Stanley Works as an attempt to improve over the Bailey plane design. It was introduced in the early 20th century. [1]The main difference of the Bedrock design was in the frog, which holds the blade also known as an iron.
The fore plane is a type of woodworking bench plane typically used for preparing and flattening rough workpieces before using other planes, such as the jointer plane and the smoothing plane. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The name fore plane is sometimes used synonymously with the jack plane , but the fore plane is usually longer in length, making it more ...
In woodworking, a moulding plane (molding plane in US spelling) is a specialised plane used for making the complex shapes found in wooden mouldings. [ 1 ] Traditionally, moulding planes were blocks of wear resistant hardwood, often beech or maple , which were worked to the shape of the intended moulding.
