Scraper Plane with Rounded Sole and Fine Iron Adjustment No.

151 C jUUMA

This spokeshave, also known as a „schinder,” is modeled after the historic Stanley No. 151 C, where the C stands for „CURVED.” It is versatile and proves effective where fine shavings are needed on flat and concave curved forms (internal radii) such as on arches, boats, paddles, in chair making, or when chamfering edges. It further refines the preliminary work, whether it has been done by sawing or with a drawknife or axe.

The iron adjustment can be finely regulated using adjustment screws. This not only ensures easy parallel alignment of the blade in relation to the mouth of the plane, providing uniform shaving removal, but also ensures that the iron remains firmly in place and does not unintentionally shift backward if the clamping screw is not tightened enough.

A solid cap, unlike flimsy versions made from thin sheet metal! At one end of the handle, there is a practical, large-sized opening for hanging and space-saving storage when the spokeshave is not in use.

Satin matte black, slightly textured surface, with a surface quality typical of such cast parts, making it pleasant to grip. It almost looks noble, incomparable to versions with thick, glossy paint, possibly in shocking colors!

Good practical quality!

The spokeshave can be used by pulling or pushing, and the work becomes even easier if the sole is refined with a finer abrasive medium.

As with other planing tasks, a slight twisting of the tool generally results in an easier and cleaner cut. Here, the tool is guided not with the blade aligned perpendicularly to the direction of movement but at a slight angle.

Pulling:

While the three outer fingers find their place on the hollow back of the handles, the index fingers can apply pressure at the transition from the top to the back on appropriately shaped spots, while the thumbs rest on or next to the cap. Alternatively, the index fingers can also grasp the handles beside the cap.

Pushing:

Similar to pulling. Here, the thumbs can improve guidance on the surfaces next to the iron and additionally apply pressure.
