Incredible that the heritage of these beautifully crafted tools is still available to own these many years later, wonderful presentation Mr Blackburn.

Glad you like them!

“ … more pleasurable.” 👈🏻 This. The most underrated statement ever made! Whenever I’m headed out to my shop, I tell my wife that, “I’m going out to see my psychiatrist for a couple of hours.” If I’ve had a rough day or maybe I’m not feeling my best, I go out and grab a piece of scrap lumber, crank it in my vise, grab a plane - any one of them will do - and I just listen to the “schwoosh” of the blade peeling away those layers. Mmmm … it truly is great therapy for my soul. Whatever was bothering me either disappears or a solution pops into my head. If I happen to not be feeling the best, after a couple of hours of slicing and shaving that piece of scrap lumber, my aches and pains have turned into hand and leg cramps, but I barely feel them. Those two hours completely change my outlook every time!

I have 3 japanese Kikai-Sakuri Kanna planes that cut dados. They have 2 scoring blades that are almost as big as the main blade. 2 of them also have a fence.

Objection, your honor! Contrary to a popular belief to get a crisp arris and an inside angle a nicker should be ever so slightly outside of the iron. This applies to any crossgrain plane - works on filisters too. That little bit of wood is severed by a nicker anyway, an iron just rips it out leaving a clean sharp angle. Most of the time this offset is by stoning prongs at a particular angle from inside, but worst case prongs can be carefully bent a thou (literally, no more than 0.1mm) out, nickers were tempered soft. This works way better than trying to align a nicker with an iron precisely, which might sometimes be impossible.

If I was only doing one or two odd dadoes once in a while I would probably do them with saw, chisel, and (hand)router, but in a non-powered shop this makes a lot of sense for the most common dado sizes.

How would you start a dado edge groove? I noticed that though your blade was quite sharp, there was a bit of tearout at the start. There doesn't appear to be a way to start the dado "backwards" and I'm not sure that the beginning score would solve that? Thank you.

The knicker spurs should have been sharper and a bit deeper.

Thanks Graham. I am now on the lookout for a dado plane. One question. If you don't have one that is the exact fit, can you use a smaller plane to get the correct width? Like using a 1/4 inch width to achieve 1/2 inch width?

I bet there won't be very many machine tools built today still working in two and a half centuries' time.
