Soichiro Uchimaru Plane 0.7 inch (18 mm), Brown

This Yoita Soichiro Mini Concave Hollow Plane 18mm is a specialised Japanese kanna designed to carve and refine convex wood surfaces with exceptional control. Its gently curved sole allows for smooth contact with curved wood contours, while the sharp SK-5 carbon steel blade delivers accurate, clean cuts with minimal resistance. The tool’s oak body offers a natural, comfortable grip, making it easy to use even during extended work sessions. This tool is ideal for shaping inner curves on furniture components, hollow forms, instrument soundboards, or intricate joinery. It is particularly suited for woodworkers, luthiers, and hobbyists who need precision when working inside curves or channels. It can also be used creatively in sculptural woodwork where convex shaping is needed. Product Data: Approximate Dimensions: Width 28mm x Height 109mm x Depth 33mm Concave Channel Diameter: 20mm Approximate Concave Channel Depth: 4mm Blade Width: 18mm Weight: 70g Blade Material: High carbon tool steel (SK-5) Handle Material: Oak Set Contents: Main unit only To use, grip the oak body with both hands and draw the tool towards you along the curve to be shaped. Keep steady, even pressure, and let the curved sole maintain contact with the surface. Sharpen the blade as needed to retain a smooth cutting edge. Always check grain direction to avoid tear-out. Oil the blade after each use to protect it from corrosion, as carbon steel is not stainless. Store in a dry location with the blade facing up or isolated to avoid contact with hard surfaces. Keep out of reach of children and wear gloves when maintaining the blade.
