Japanese hand planes, like all things, need a little TLC with use. When the side grooves that hold the blade in place begin to loosen, and the blade is able to slide beyond the opening of the mouth with a few taps of a hammer, it's time to adjust the tightness. Here we explain in detail everything you need to do to either fix loose or tight side grooves. You don't have to be a seasoned craftsman to follow these steps. Let's get the groove on!
In this video, we go over these important, easy-to-follow steps to help tune and adjust the tightness of your hand plane:
- Fixing loose side grooves
- Fixing tight side grooves
Japanese hand planes require less power to smooth uneven surfaces and correct warping on the wood. In addition, Kakuri uses high-quality carbon steel for the plane's blade to ensure a much sharper and smoother finish and a more enjoyable woodworking experience.
