Kakuri Smoothing Plane - 30mm

$49.00

Description

This Plane is a modern Japanese style plane which cuts on the pull stroke. The blade and chip breaker are held in place with an adjustable screw. The blade is made from high speed steel, has a Rockwell around 63, and can be sharpened or replaced. The plane's body is made of Japanese White Oak.

It is highly recommended to adjust the plane blade with either a bronze hammer or a wooden mallet. This is because the blade is a solid piece of high speed steel and could be damaged with a regular metal hammer.

Specifications:

Blade Width: 30mm

Plane Body Length: 150mm

Plane Body Width: 60 mm

In regards to Japanese smoothing planes; please note that the sole of the plane has been prepared ready for use as a smoothing plane and so no adjustments are required for this, however timber planes may need some adjustment purely because of the nature of wood moving (expanding and contracting).

Kakuri Smoothing Plane - 30mm

Having never used these Kanna planes before I chose the cheaper 30mm to try first, check the quality and see how the shipping to NZ worked out. The delivery was fairly prompt and I just can't believe the excellent quality of the plane. I didn't even need to tune the blade and was able to use it right out the box.
I was so happy with it I ordered a 58mm wide Kanna and it arrived even faster.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your review, we're thrilled that the kanna are fulfilling your expectations. The 58mm will probably take a little more time to set up than the 30mm. Not sure if you've seen our full video, it can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUje4MEivcw&t=3s If you have any questions please write to us or we can organise to call you in NZ. Happy woodworking! -the JTA team

Best hands planes I have used

Been making rifle stocks by hand and use the smoothing planes for all shaping great tools and they take a long time to dull the edge. Great produce and great service from Japanese tools.

Kakuri smoothing plane

wood it was made out of was nice. The steel blade was abit rough, screw needed to be filed down to hold the blade better, because it wss hard to keep the blade flat. Tightening the screw made the blade twist
