Traditional Taiwanese planes
The plane works on a push stroke and is suitable for the standing working method, which is common in Europe. The necessary contact pressure can be better provided via the cross handle, especially when planning long workpieces. The plane can also work on the pull stroke by removing the cross handle to achieve finer surface finishes on short board surfaces. The blade features a hollow grind, which makes the truing of the back face easier. The mouth also acts as a chipbreaker.
Before being used for the first time, the blade must be honed and fitted into the conical groove of the body. To minimise friction, the plane sole must be made slightly concave by using the scraping plane. Those who tackle these challenges are rewarded with unique results. Unless otherwise stated, the blade angle is 40°. Comes with instructions and plane bag with a drawstring.
In Taiwan, as in Japan, both original Chinese planes with a cross-handle and imported Japanese planes have been used simultaneously from the 15th century until today. This is not least due to the fact that Taiwan was a province of Japan for half a century. During this time, the original Chinese plane has been further developed and - unlike in China - manufactured with high-quality hand-forged double-layered SUJ2 iron.
