A grooving
plane. A plane used in carpentry to make a groove. For a groove less than
15mm wide a small anazukikanna or ko-anazukikanna ¬Ληξ often
is used. The plane consists of a plane stock, kannadai ηξδ, which
can be divided into two sections, and is connected by two regulating bolts
to a guide that determines the distance of the groove from the edge of the
block of timber. The plane stock is divided into two parts in order to facilitate
the making of a hole to insert the wakibari ej, a special blade used
to smooth the sides of the groove. Each section of the plane stock is fixed
with a separate bolt. The cutting blade, kannami ηξg, is adjusted
according to the width of the groove. The base of the plane has a projection
known as the daizura δΚ and the width of the daizura is the same
as the width of blade. When making a groove that is narrow, for example
3mm, a hard base made of rosewood, Chinese quince, Chaenomeles sinensis,
or brass is used. |
