Plane maintenance
Dec. 17/2005
I did the maintenance of the 45 mm plane which was bought 20 years before. It is the japanese plane which I bought for the first time. The plane in Japan must correct a sole sometimes.We call it "dainaoshi".
There are two kinds of ways in "dainaoshi". "Three support" is good plane degree."Two support" is possible to reduce thin.
1.The first step is to flatten the sole. I put the 180th sandpaper on the thick glass board and I polish the sole.
2.I make a hollow using my scraper.
3.I tested the plane which "dainaoshi" completed.It is good.I think that it is possible to use if maintaining a cheap plane.
4.Recently, I am using the 65 mm plane which is made from "Kawayoshi".This is cartridge blade and there is not necessity of grinding.However, "dainaoshi" becomes necessary.
