Kamiwaza 70mm Gotoku Plane

A Smoothing Plane
A Right Handed Rebate Plane
A Left Handed Rebate Plane
A Right Handed Side-Cutting Plane
A Left Handed Side Cutting Plane

Having set up two Gotoku planes, we have thus far found that once the blades' backs are lapped flat and their bevels sharpened, it has been quite a quick process to fit them to the block.

Refinement of the sole's flatness with sandpaper on glass was helpful, and from there subtle adjustments to blade positioning were enough to get them cutting beautifully in all orientations.
