The Handplane. Simply tradition.
The plane is generally regarded as a classic and traditional tool for woodworking. The hand plane is an indispensable tool for carpenters, joiner's and cabinetmakers, especially in surface processing
The different hand planes at a glance:
Jack plane
The jack plane is used for finishing flat and sensitive wood surfaces. This plane is particularly suitable for softwoods.
Smoothing plane
The smoothing plane is similar to the jack plane, with the difference that it is used for finishing hardwoods.
Rebate plane
The classic rebate plane is ideal for processing window and door frames due to its narrow and elegant shape. With this plane you can rebate and groove. To get to the difficult and narrow parts of the workpiece, the second step is to use a heel rebate plane, which is much shorter and has the cutting edge at the front end. If you want these two functions in one, choose the double rebate plane. If you also want a particularly fine result, you will be happy with an angled rebate plane. Thanks to its pulling cut, the planing chips are removed much better.
Scrub plane
The scrub plane is suitable for processing coarse wood. It therefore does not deliver a fine result, but rather serves for coarse removal.
Jointers plane
Due to its length, the Jointers planer is ideal for straightening and finishing longer surfaces, regardless of the type of wood.

What are the types of hand planes?
There are different planes for different applications. Below you will find a small selection:
- Plastering planes/double planes: Versatile for all finishing and plastering work. Plaster and double planes produce smooth surfaces that often do not require any further treatment.
- One-handed plane: Very useful for smoothing edges, finishing small surfaces, planing bevels and curves, and many other applications
- Rebate plane: For finishing and creating rebates, working on narrow surfaces (e.g. mouldings) and for finishing tenons.
- Base plane: For crafting grooves and other recesses in wood.
- Jointers plane: Plane for planing and jointing wood. Straightens uneven surfaces due to its long design.
- Roughing plane: Usually with a rounded edge, well-suited for preparing for planing with the roughing bench. The roughing plane is used on very uneven, rough surfaces. Can also be used for structuring wooden surfaces
