Low Plane Smoothers
Particularly during smoothing, the final workstep, it is important to guide the tool as close as possible to the workpiece and to optimally follow the grain. The Low Plane allows a quick change of hand position and pressure shift thanks to its low design without any handles getting in the way. Its light weight makes it easy to guide and reposition on the material, allowing it to be pushed or pulled depending on the situation. A 4.8 mm thick plane blade with additional chip breaker reduces vibration when working and ensures an exceptionally smooth cut.
After the Roman planes with lateral openings (cross handles) in the plane body, smoothing planes without handles were already being used to the north of the Alps as early as in the Middle Ages. It was not until the 17th and 18th centuries that most planes were equipped with two handles. In 1975, English cabinetmaker James Krenov favoured a type of wooden plane without handles and described it in detail in one of his books. Thus, this form of hand plane is associated with his name to this day.
