Handwork in Wood

CHAPTER IV
82/111

A great variety of cutters are supplied, such as: molding, matching, sash, beading, reeding, fluting, hollow, round, plow, rabbet, and filletster.

Special shapes can be obtained by order.
[Illustration: Fig.117.Universal Plane.] _The Use of the Universal Plane._ Insert the proper cutter, adjusting it so that the portion of it in line with the main stock, _A_, will project below the sole the proper distance for cutting.
Adjust the bottom of the sliding section, _B_, so that the lowest portion of the cutter will project the proper distance below it for cutting.

Tighten the check nuts on the transverse arms and _then_ tighten the thumb-screws which secure the sliding section to the arms.
The sliding section is not always necessary, as in a narrow rabbet or bead.
When an additional support is needed for the cutter, the auxiliary center bottom, _C_, may be adjusted in front of it.

This may also be used as a stop.
[Illustration: Fig.118.Iron Spokeshave.] [Illustration: Fig.119.

Pattern-maker's Spokeshave.] Adjust one or both of the fences, _D_ and _E_, and fasten with the thumb-screws.
