Rebate plane

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simple rebate plane

The rebate plane is a hand plane for making rebates and heels in wood processing .

There are simple and adjustable rebate planes. With the simple rebate planer, a planer box cheek jumps back and serves as a ramp. This determines the depth of the fold. The other cheek protrudes against the planer sole and forms the run-up, whereby the width of the fold is determined. Since both cheeks cannot be adjusted, this plane can only be used to produce folds of a certain width and depth. The plane iron is usually at an angle in order to cleanly process Ouerwood.

With the adjustable rebate planes, adjustable metal or wooden rails are used as a start and stop to determine the size of the rebates. Seams up to 30 mm wide can be made. In addition to the inclined position of the iron, a pre-cutter is available for transverse wood processing. The pre-cutter cuts through the wood fiber in the planing direction before the iron removes the chips.

The construction and use of the flat bench and dovetail plane are similar to the rebate planer , but they do not produce a right-angled shoulder.

Since machines now take over this operation, the rebate planer is rarely used. Nevertheless, there are modern rebate planes that are still operated by hand and are preferably used by small businesses.
