Kakumentori Kanna – Chamfering Plane

【角面取り鉋】かくめんとりかんな

As exactly it sounds, this is a kind of plane to take off the corners by 45 degrees. There are various sorts of surfaces on the materials like pillars and boards, the dangerous one is the square timber. Their corners are very sharp and it could cut flesh. By taking off them with the chamfering plane, it makes it round off a bit and looks beautiful as well.

The saw is fixed obliquely for additional sharpness

It has a dial to adjust the size of the width that you wish to take off. One of my recommendations is the one called ‘Isuka-shikomi’ which has its saw fixed slightly oblique to add even more sharpness. The other is the one with a big brass part in the very centre of the plane. This brass protects the plane itself to wear out from countless grinding.

その名の通り、角材の面を45度にとる鉋です。面には様々な種類がありますが今回は「角面(45度の面)」についてです。

角材のかどは鋭くて危ないんですよ。指を切ることもしばしば・・・面取り鉋を使うことによって綺麗な面ができます!ダイヤルが付いていて面の大きさを調節できます。便利〜!

 

オススメは、いすか仕込みといって鉋の刃が斜めに仕込んであるものです(切れ味が増す)それと、台に埋め込まれている真鍮が縦にズドーンっと入っているやつです!(この真鍮の板は鉋の台が擦り減るのを防ぐ役割をしています)
