ABSTRACT:
A plane in which the cutting blade is fixedly mounted, and a portion of the sole plate is adjustable relative to another portion thereof in order to adjust the depth of cut of the plane. As distinguished from conventional planes in which the cutting blade is adjustably mounted for movement along the longitudinal axis of the blade in order to adjust the depth of cut of the plane, the cutting blade of the plane disclosed herein is fixedly mounted with the cutting edge coincident with the lower edge of the sole plate, and a forward portion of the sole plate is movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the rearward portion of the sole plate to adjust the depth of cut. The forward handle of the plane performs three functions, specifically to guide the plane during movement across the surface of the material being cut, to provide the means for adjusting the position of the forward portion of the sole plate and as a bubble level to provide a means for determining whether a surface on which the plane is placed is horizontal.
