RYOMA KO HINA KANNA JAPANESE PLANE 42mm X 180mm (FUJIWARASANGYO)

Hina (short) kanna is a flat soled bench plane or smoothing plane, this one has a 43mm wide laminated blade of blue paper steel backed with soft iron. This plane is fitted with a chipbreaker (a relatively recent innovation in Japanese planes) but because the blade is independently held in place by the body (dai) it can also be used without. This 180mm hina kanna is a great choice for accurately bringing small components to finished dimension.

*Very important:

All Japanese planes,arrive in New Zealand with a small amount of tuning yet to be done. This allows end users to tune their plane for use in the conditions it will be continually used in, eliminating the problem of wood movement between climates. Thiswill require some knowledge and tuning to use them to their full ability. Please click HERE to watchsome video tutorials onhow to prepare your new KANNA.
