Honing and Polishing the Blade
The blade is ground ready for 30° honing. You may change
the bevel angle as required to suit the pitch of your plane,
the nature of the woods you work with, and your own
preference/experience. Additional sharpening need only
involve honing and polishing a micro-bevel. The back of
the blade has been lapped fl at and does not need work.
Blade Carrier
The key component of your plane is the blade carrier (see
Figure 2). The blade carrier is attached to the blade and links
the cap iron and the adjuster. This arrangement lets you restore
the cap iron without losing its position relative to the cutting edge.
