  • Lapping Plate

    Lapping Plate

    Lapping Plate 05M20.20 Patent Pending Lapping is the process of rubbing two surfaces together with an abrasive and a lubricant to improve the quality of at least one of the surfaces. Although lapping can be used to create fl at surfaces, in the context of woodworking, lapping better serves to minimize the roughness of a surface – known as surface conditioning. By minimizing the roughness in the sole of a plane, there is reduced friction between the plane and the workpiece, which in turn reduces abrasion. For blades or chisels, the cutting edge can be made sharper if both intersecting surfaces are free of scratches, even if the back of the blade isn’t perfectly fl at. Straight cutting edge on a lapped blade. Jagged cutting edge on a ground blade. Figure 1: A ground blade versus a lapped blade. Lapping can remove only small amounts of material. If the sole of your plane or the back of your blade is twisted, wavy or bowed, it will be necessary to sand or grind off the high points prior to lapping. Lapping is always performed with an abrasive oil slurry, which not only allows the object to slide Small Abrasive about the lapping plate (called a lap), but also Particles provides a means to remove abraded particles and worn abrasive. Oil Object Abraded Metal Lap Groove in Lap Large Abrasive Particles Figure 2: Lapping mechanics. 2 Important Notes The lapping plate is made of soft iron and will wear over time. These instructions provide information on how to ensure the lap remains fl at for a lifetime.

They differ only in the I’ve studied panel-raising planes spring angles (the tilt of the plane off made circa the late 18th and early 19th vertical) and skew of the iron (which centuries, including one made by Aaron creates a slicing cut across the grain to Smith, who was active in Rehoboth, reduce tear-out). The bed angle of the Smith plane is 46º, and the iron is skewed at 32º. Combined, these improve the quality of cut without changing the tool’s cutting angle – which is what happens if you skew Gauges & guides. It’s best to make each of these gauges before you start your plane build. In the long run, they save you time and keep you on track. Shaping tools.

  • Sharpening Tips First of All, Make Sure That the Tools You Are Sharpening Are Equal to Your Efforts

    Sharpening Tips First of All, Make Sure That the Tools You Are Sharpening Are Equal to Your Efforts

    GarrettWade White Paper Sharpening Woodworking Edge Tools This guide is designed to help you select the proper sharpening tools, and to instruct you in their care and use, so that you can look forward to years of satisfying, quality work. Even if you already own a number of sharpening tools, we hope you will find the sections on care and usage helpful, whether you are a professional or a home craftsman. A truly sharp tool is faster, more accurate, longer lasting, and certainly safer than a dull one, but a surprising number of skilled craftsmen fail to get their tools as sharp as they can (and should). In fact, the money and time you invest in getting your edge tools really sharp—and keeping them that way—will be repaid many times over in work quality and tool longevity. Once the very sharpest edge has been achieved, an occasional honing or stropping will maintain it. There are a huge variety of sharpening tools available – from power grinders (both vertical and horizontal, both slow and faster speeds), to diamond material, to solid carbide, to natural Arkansas, to water stones from Japan or the USA. Don’t be put off by this variety. Educate yourself, be thoughtful, ask for advice and you will develop a path that suits you personally. Volumes have been written in magazine articles and books on sharpening, and our brief write-up here can only scratch the surface. Nonetheless, we intend that this information to help get you started and give you a general frame of reference for subsequent information gathering or video watching.
