Abstract: A surface trimming plane includes a holder, a blade, a press plate, a movable nut, and an adjusting screw. The holder is provided with an inner stepped face which is provided with two tracks, a guide channel and a perforation. The movable nut is mounted in the guide channel. The adjusting screw extends through the perforation, and is screwed through the movable nut. The blade is located between the two tracks and is secured on the movable nut. The press plate is mounted on the holder and located above the blade. The press plate presses the blade to locate the blade. When the adjusting screw is rotated, the movable nut is moved in the guide channel, and the blade is moved with the movable nut to adjust a displacement of the blade.

Abstract: A block plane uses a standard utility knife blade mounted at about a 40° angle so the edge of the blade runs parallel to the side of the main body. The blade is set angled to the longitudinal axis of the plane. A snap on plastic grip holds extra blades inside. Cuts of ten thousands of an inch are made, and buying different thicknesses of the disposable blades varies the cut slightly. Most utility knife blades are about 0.025 inches thick.

Abstract: A plane that includes a plane body having an opening positioned in a bottom surface of the plane body; an angled support structure carried by the plane body; a blade supported by the angled support structure, the blade having an edge positionable to protrude from the opening; a blade adjuster operatively connected with the blade; and a lateral stabilizer is provided. The lateral stabilizer is selectively adjustable to prevent or permit a lateral movement of the blade and the lateral stabilizer is configured to prevent lateral movement of the blade without preventing longitudinal adjustability of the blade. When the lateral stabilizer is configured to prevent lateral movement of the blade, the lateral stabilizer does not engage the blade.

Abstract: A router plane having a collar maintained in snug engagement with a blade shank during blade height adjustment to facilitate accurate adjustment with a threaded adjustment nut that travels on an adjustment post. The collar is retained on a post secured to the router plane body so that the collar can rotate between blade in-board and blade out-board positions without removal from the post.

Abstract: A plane includes a plane body having an opening positioned in a bottom surface of the plane body, an angled support structure carried by the plane body, a blade supported by the angled support structure, the blade having an edge positionable to protrude from the opening, and a lateral stabilizer constructed and arranged to inhibit a lateral movement of the blade while permitting a longitudinal movement of the blade. The blade adjuster is operatively connected with the blade and longitudinally moves the blade so as to control a distance that the edge of the blade protrudes through the opening and laterally moves the blade so as to control an angle of the edge of the blade relative to the bottom surface of the plane body.

Abstract: An adjustable handle for a tool that can be pivoted “forward and backward,” or “side to side,” and locked in a desired position to facilitate use of the tool and handle, and a woodworking plane with such a handle. The plane may be a small scraping plane that, optionally, includes a camber screw for inducing a camber in the blade, or a lever cap thumb screw threaded into the plane body. The plane may also be a bench, block, shoulder, rabbet or other plane, and the handle may be configured in a wide variety of different shapes.

Abstract: A plane such as a low angle jack plane having an adjustable toe that cannot inadvertently slide backwards in the plane body so that it contacts and possibly damages the plane blade. A threaded stop mounted in the plane body bears against the toe establishing the point to which the toe can slide back in the plane body. Rotation of the threaded stop moves the end of the stop by small, easily controlled increments, making it easy to change the width of the mouth while preventing contact between the toe and the plane blade.

Abstract: A scraper plane used in woodworking and providing a blade having an adjustable angle as well as adjustable camber. Varying the camber of the blade creates various sized regions of contact between the cutting edge of the blade and the workpiece. Variable camber provides increased control and improved function.

Abstract: A spokeshave providing an easily used depth of cut adjustment that is simple, effective and requires no extra tool or blade removal for adjustment. The blade of the spokeshave is mounted on two posts that project normal to the back of the blade, and the posts are received in structures adjustably positioned within the spokeshave body. Adjustment of the positions of the post-receiving structures cause the blade to move toward or away from the body.

Abstract: A plane such as a shoulder plane having at least two set screws positioned in apertures in the body, the set screws adapted to bear against opposite sides of the blade laterally to adjust the blade in position. An adjustment assembly is also provided, where rotation of a knob adjusts longitudinal movement of a traveler component, and laterally pivoting the knob allows lateral movement of the blade to the extent permitted by the set screws. A knob for rotational readjustment of the handle is also provided.

Abstract: A carpenter's combination plane comprised of a basic holder and a blade holder, adapted with various holder accessories depending on the size of the work surface and the distance of reciprocal planing; other auxiliary accessories may be provided to the holder accessories to define the width, depth, inclined surface of the work surface or the polishing work surface.

Abstract: A miniature roller plane for making fine cuts in straight and concave surfaces of a workpiece. The roller plane includes a mounting frame to move along the workpiece, a roller attached to the front of the mounting frame, and a threaded shaft projecting from the opposite end of the mounting frame to which a pushing force is applied. The roller at the front of the mounting frame may have a cylindrical or a barrel shaped configuration to facilitate the mounting frame riding over straight and concave surfaces. An adjustable cutting blade is slidable over a ramp face of the mounting frame. The position of the cutting blade along the ramp face is selectively adjusted with micrometer precision by way of a rotatable thumb nut that is coupled to and movable axially along the threaded shaft towards the cutting blade. Once the position of the cutting blade has been selected, a lock down bar applies a holding pressure against the cutting blade to prevent a further displacement of the cutting blade over the ramp face.

Abstract: Bench planes of different sizes having interchangeable components and an adjustable frog providing full blade support with a frog foot that extends through the plane body mouth to terminate co-planer or nearly co-planer with the sole. The rear plane handle or tote is captured between and secured soley to tines projecting from the frog that is adjustably secured to alternative sizes of plane bodies in a manner permitting forward and backward adjustment of the frog position without removing the plane blade. Superior lateral blade position control is provided by set screws in the plane body and contacting blade side edges. Adjustments in the blade cutting angle without modifying the angle at which the blade is held by the frog in the plane may be made by forming a front bevel on the front surface of the blade.

Abstract: A tool sharpening or dressing device provides a blade having a knife edge held within an aperture from below so that as the tool is drawn along a surface above the edge is able to trim the tool. The blade is clamped by a rotating washer with detent grooves to finely position the washer. The washer, in turn, pushes against the blade to position it.

Abstract: A crown planing tool 10 has a body 11 formed with a pair of mutually spaced, juxtaposed runners 12 having coplanar bottom surfaces 13 and a hand grip 16 that bridges the two runners to form a channel 17 through the body. A disk-shaped blade 29 is adjustably mounted to the body within the channel.

Abstract: A device for removing a weld bead from the external periphery of a plastic gas pipe.The device (FIG. 2) has a body 10 with an inclined reaction surface 13 and a blade 21. The blade 21 is engaged with a bead 22 and the portion 22a of the bead 22 which is lifted is gripped between a toothed wheel 17 and the inclined surface 21. As the wheel 17 is rotated by use of a lever 18 operating via a ratchet, the device is moved bodily around the circumference of a pipe 31 to remove the bead 22.Retractable and adjustable stabilising means 25, 28 etc. are provided and there is a hardened end portion 20 on the body 10 to enable the device to be hammered to engage the blade in the bead initially.
