PLANE BLADE HORIZONTAL AND CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR FIXING PLANE BLADE TO PLANER

摘要

To provide means which can accurately and easily perform cutting depth adjustment and horizontal adjustment of a plane blade in a hand plane.SOLUTION: A column 3 for fitting micrometer heads 4, 5 is provided on right and left sides of a planer 1 and on an extended line of a thickness center line of a plane blade 2, and the plane blade is brought into contact with and fixed to the left and right micrometer heads. Horizontal and cutting depth of the plane blade are accurately adjusted with scales of the left and right micrometer heads. The plane blade can be fixed to the planer at an accurate position by fixing force in a direction of pressing the plane blade against the micrometer head and in a direction of pressing the plane blade against the planer in such a manner that an inclined face 6 is formed on a plane blade side surface, the face is sandwiched and tightened from left and right by pointed vitreous enamel sets 7, 8, and left sand right bolts are so made as to be a left screw bolt and a right screw bolt.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
