THE DESIGN
Of all the various tasks performed in your woodshop, planing wood by hand is truly a festival of the soul and hands.Shearing wood with a razor edge and leaving a finish that is almost impossible to improve upon is one of those few moments where the maker, material, and tools unite in the communion of song we call craftsmanship. The well crafter plane, unlike any other woodworking tool, holds a special place in the heart of its owner--no other tool demands as much care, and yet no other hand tool is asked to do as much. The symbiotic relationship between the plane and its owner is unique, and when both are in "tune", oh, how mighty is the music of the plane!
There are many aspects to a handplane, and like a cherished violin, all must work in harmony for the tool to sing in your hand. The quality of the edge is paramount. The throat opening, blade to body rigidity, sole flatness and material, and blade adjustability all play fundamental roles in a well-deisgned plane. Each of these criteria relates to the other and when properly addressed, you have a "tool for the ages".
THE BLADE
Any cutting edge is the intersection of two planes. In a plane iron these two surfaces are the back of the iron and the bevel. The ability of any edge to remain sharp is a result of five factors: the material to be cut, the metal alloy of the plane iron, the temper of the tool steel, the surface quality of the intersecting planes and the intelligence of te user. Four of these five criteria have been addressed with this plane iron.
The precision ground, A-2 tool steel plane iron of the CT-7 is unlike any you have used. This cryogenically tempered plane iron will keep a razor edge much longer than traditional tool steels.(Cryogenic tempering is a supplemental process to heat/quench tempering where tool steel is cooled below -300 degrees Farenheit in liquid nitrogen for several hours, which completely and thoroughly alters the molecular structure of the steel. The results are dramatic! The fine grain structure of the metal allows for extremely sharp edges that hold an edge much longer than traditional processes.)After the iron is tempered, we diamond lap the back. This creates a mirror-like surface youwill never need to visit for sharpening! The primary bevel is ground to 25 degrees and a micro-bevel is the final touch, achieved with an 8000-grit water stone. This plane iron is ready right out of the box.
