If the mouth of your plane is clogged, it is usually the fault of the chipbreaker. Today we are going to look at how to fit your chip breaker or cap iron to your plane blade and stop the cloging of the mouth on a hand plane.

There's already comments about how good this video is, so the purpose of this comment is helping the RU-vid algorithm show it to more people.

Pushing the paper into the chip breaker explains it perfectly from a visual perspective, nice work!

@iainmcculloch5807 6 месяцев назад

A clogged plane can be such a frustrating problem, and the fix is so easy. But you have to know how to fix it (it took me years to find out). So thank you for this James. I don't doubt a lot of folks will find this really helpful.

After 65 years of woodworking this information is new to me. I always felt it was a problem with the mouth too closed and/or the chip breaker not in the right place. It also explains why my Qiangsheng number 6 works so well.

Thank you! I just got my first hand plane from a yard sale and am working on cleaning it up and getting it working

@karolskakes388 6 месяцев назад

4:01 alternative to mallet/hammer is 2 scrapes of wood 10-12 inches wider than your chip breaker. Place the chip breaker in vice, now grasp the chip breaker with scrap wood, ( one piece of wood on each side of breaker), you have now created a handle to gently twist the breaker back to shape. Old metal workers trick - for heavier iron, longer and bolted together wood pieces give you more control.

Whatever you do... for godsake... DO NOT blow the wood out. Resist the urge... i spent Christmas '23 in the ER 12 hours after i did when i was finally like, omg i Have to go to the ER this is killing me... because...who in the world wears safety glasses while planning... who is dumb enough to put their face that close and blow the splinters in their eye though, right Wright? LOL. Funny thing is, or rather stupid thing. Immediately i was like omg youve got to be kidding me, went and got a bottle of eye wash i had...did it for like 5-10 secs...then rubbed my eye. Oh god WHY did i rub it! Lol. Shouldve kept washing til the bottle was empty...shoulda woulda coulda...lol oh btw little LATE but thanks for the vid James lol

@NickLuker 6 месяцев назад

If anyone is thinking of, or has started, using wooden planes, this is a particularly pervasive problem because of people over setting the wedge and smooshing the cap iron; this can also happen if the wedge is set tightly and the plane goes through heavy changes in moisture and temperature. Of course, it could also be the prongs on the wedge overshooting the hump on the cap iron or being blunted rather than tapering into the center of the mouth.

@robohippy 6 месяцев назад

In my adventures into learning how to use hand planes, both the old laminated blades and the modern blades, as well as the Japanese style pull planes, I discovered how they would 'tap out' the bimetal type blades if they were curved or had any bend in them across the cutting edge. Not sure if that can be done with the more modern blades which are all one metal.

@benjaminjackson8713 6 месяцев назад

I'm fairly certain that the Spear and Jackson brand of cheap handplanes that are popular on amazon right now are the same as the Grizzly and Big Horn ones made by Soba. Rex Krueger did a good video on them a couple of years ago and that's why I went with the Spear and Jackson(well, that and the name). If anyone here gets any of these planes one thing I found that could help you is that the cap iron sits too far into the mouth by default. I'm guessing their machine is off or they didn't do enough testing, but when I padded the slot the keep screw goes into with a couple of strips of blue tape I found that it was like 5-6x less likely to clog the mouth. Just something to test if you do get a cheap plane.

@rustyriley51 6 месяцев назад

I’ve got a shop full of eBay Stanley’s and I decided I would make one of them a true smoothing plane, I chose my 4.5 because I don’t really like using it so it may as well be a specialty plane. I fought this fitment issue for two hours, I eventually stole the chip breaker from my #7 then I saw that someone had removed 30 percent of the rounded nose on my 4.5. It took a while longer but I got there with the #7 chip breaker and my 4.5 works great! Now I need a new chip breaker for my jointer lol.

@cindyharrison4191 6 месяцев назад

@theeddorian 24 дня назад

One thing I've always wonder about is why so many chip breakers on old planes require fettling. You would imagine that the original owners knew enough to tweak the breaker to properly match the iron. In some instances I can tell that someone was building Franken-planes out of parts from different planes, but that hardly covers all the breakers that need help.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 24 дня назад

Office because the irons and Chip breakers have been switched out by people who don't know or don't care. Sometimes it's because they never use the plane for fine work they just used it for hugging off material.

@J.A.Smith2397 6 месяцев назад

@larryohara6513 6 месяцев назад

How about testing some of those heavy duty chip breakers...such as HOCK

@WoodByWrightHowTo 6 месяцев назад

There's too much to test. They work great. But they too can also go out of alignment or if you put them on a different iron they might need to be tweaked.

@AllanMacMillan 6 месяцев назад

If you have to keep resetting your breakers with a mallet, you probably have too many planes plugged into the same outlet.

@steveshapland8846 6 месяцев назад

I rotate the chip breaker around the axis of the mating edge and polish the surface.

@kurtandrews7450 6 месяцев назад

@Apillicus 6 месяцев назад

My current issue is that I can't get the chip breaker close to the edge of the plane iron, as the screw makes contact with the frog before I can advance it past the mouth. If I keep it (the chip breaker) a couple mm away from the edge, it sorta works

Sounds like you have the wrong chip breaker for the plane.
