Introduction
The Model T34066 No. 4 10" Legacy Smoothing Plane is designed for smoothing flattened wood surfaces and trimming end grain. The included steel blade has a 2" cutting width sharpened to a 45° bevel, which can achieve a smooth finish with­out the need for sandpaper. This plane has a 9½" cast iron sole, stainless steel fixtures, anodized aluminum cheeks and knob, and a solid wood tote that can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of hand sizes. This smoothing plane also features an adjustable frog, depth adjustment knob, and lateral adjustment screws for fine-tuning hard and soft wood finishes.

***Keep for Future Reference***
• Always push plane away from you, never pull plane towards you.
Use care when handling blade. It has a
sharp edge and can cause lacerations.
Protect eyes from debris by wearing ANSI
-approved safety glasses.
Verify workpiece is properly secured.
Prevent unauthorized use by children or
untrained users.
Adjusting Blade Position
Blade depth controls the amount of material removed during planing. Frog position controls the size of the mouth opening, allowing for fine or rough cuts. Lateral adjustment controls the tilt of the blade, aligning the cutting edge parallel with the mouth.
Adjusting Blade Depth
1. Rotate depth adjustment knob clockwise to
lower blade, or counterclockwise to raise blade (see Figure 4).
Securing Workpiece
The Model T34066 requires two hands to prop­erly control, so it is highly recommended to use a solid workbench for securing planing projects. Workbenches with configurable vises, wedge stops, bench dogs, and hold-downs will provide critical support for many different workpieces. See Figure 3 for an example of a solid workbench securing a wood project.
Note: Length of blade protruding from sole
determines depth of cut.
Depth Adjustment Knob

Adjusting Frog Position
1. Loosen (2) locking screws located on rear of frog (see Figure 5).

2. Rotate adjustment screw clockwise to close mouth, or counterclockwise to open mouth, then tighten (2) locking screws loosened in Step 1 (see Figure 5).
Note: Use a narrow mouth for fine cuts, and
a wide mouth for deep cuts.

Replacing Blade
1. Pull up on lever cap cam and slide lever cap up through keyhole to remove, then remove blade and chip breaker (see Figure 7).

Adjusting Lateral Blade Position
1. Tilt lateral adjustment lever left or right to adjust blade side-to-side (see Figure 6).
— Tilt lateral adjustment lever left to lower
right corner of blade, or tilt lever right to lower left corner of blade.
2. Verify blade is parallel with mouth and there is an even amount of space on each side of blade (see Figure 6).

5. Install lever cap over lever cap screw and
slide down to fully seat lever cap in keyhole, then push lever cap cam down to secure.
Note: If lever cap cam is too loose to secure
blade, tighten lever cap screw until lever cap cam is firmly secured.

Adjusting Hand Placement
The Model T34066 features an adjustable knob and tote to accommodate a variety of hand sizes and positions.
To adjust hand placement:
1. Loosen and remove (2) flat head cap screws on base of tote (see Figure 9).
2. Slide tote in or out depending on desired
positioning, then install and secure (2) flat head cap screws removed in Step 1 (see Figure 9).
Note: Tote adjustment has four positions that
are spaced ¼" apart.

Operating Smoothing Plane
Workpiece security, tool handling, operator stance, and proper tool setup all contribute to the final fin­ish quality of the workpiece surface.
To operate smoothing plane:
Figure 9. Tote adjustment components.
3. Loosen and remove (1) lock shaft on top of knob (see Figure 10).
4. Position knob as desired, then install and secure lock shaft removed in Step 3 (see Figure 10).
Note: Knob adjustment has two positions
that are spaced a ¼" apart.
1. Place one hand on knob and use opposite
hand to firmly grasp tote.
Note: See Adjusting Hand Placement for
adjusting knob and tote positions.
2. Stand close to workpiece with feet shoulder
width apart, and ensure there is enough room to move through entire length of stroke.
3. Place toe end of smoothing plane on starting
edge of workpiece, following same direction as wood grain (see Figure 11).
Note: Difficult wood grains may require skew-
ing heel end of plane approximately 10º–30º to reduce tear-out (see Figure 11).

4. Begin stroke with majority of hand pressure on toe end of smoothing plane, as shown in
Figure 12.
Troubleshooting
If the smoothing plane chatters during plan-
ing, reduce the depth of cut, or try skewing the heel end angle during the stroke.
If the mouth or chip breaker clogs with shav-
ings, reduce the depth of cut, or adjust the mouth opening wider. Always clear larger shavings after each stroke is complete.
If one side of the blade digs into the work-
piece more than the other, adjust the blade so it is parallel to the mouth.
If tear-out occurs, plane in the direction of
the grain, sharpen or replace blade, reduce mouth opening, or try skewing the heel end angle during the stroke.
If planing pressure alters blade depth during
cuts, tighten adjustment screw after setting blade depth to remove backlash.
5. When entire sole rests on workpiece, balance hand pressure on both toe end and heel end of plane, then increase pressure on heel end during end of stroke (see Figure 12).

Maintenance
Sharpen the blade bevel or add a secondary
bevel on blade edge when it becomes notice­ably difficult to push the smoothing plane, or when it produces excessive chatter.
Before storing the smoothing plane, remove
the blade, wipe the blade down with an oily cloth, then store the blade in a dry place to prevent rusting.
Lightly oil the plane and store in a sealed bag
or included display case away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Woodworkers of all skill levels are turning to Japanese water stones to keep their tool edges sharp. This is because water stones cut more aggressively and a sharp edge can be achieved much faster. Water stones also polish as they hone, allowing a mirror finish without the need for stropping or polishing compounds. Only water is needed to lubricate the cutting edge.
