What Are Planer Blades?

Planer is a Chinese word with pinyin bào zi. It is a woodworking tool used for straightening, thinning, light, and flat surface. ^[1] Judging from the excavated cultural relics, China has a planer at the latest in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The use of planers has made furniture soar. The rapid development of Chinese hardwood furniture in the late Ming Dynasty quickly affected the court. No nation in the world has made such hard wood furniture. This is a value that distinguishes Chinese people. Our hardwoods sink in the water and have a large specific gravity. The texture is very good, and the gloss is dark like rosewood.

Say differently

1. It was introduced into China from Rome during the Ming Dynasty, and made an important contribution to the development of Ming-style furniture. A tool used before the emergence of planers was called hoeing (ie, scraping). There is no evidence that China had a planer before the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was only scraping. Scraping can only deal with softwood, and it will skip the knife when operating on hardwood. Planers were invented in the 16th century, and the planes used in China are extrapolated. Planes in other countries are pulled inwards. Planers are available in Rome, but have not been introduced into our country.

2. It is believed that it was introduced into China by the Romans during the Ming Dynasty. According to a more insufficient statement, it has only reference value.

Whether it is utensils or construction, China uses the most wood and the most exquisite craftsmanship. The wood material is extremely difficult to survive, but as far as the craftsmanship left over from the Han and Tang dynasties (including unearthed) can be seen, it is proved that a tool such as a plane is used.

It is wrong to think that Chinese planes are only pushed and not pulled back. Planers have only become popular in the making of large pieces, and are gradually eliminated or are rarely used with front and rear hob planers. There are still double-edged or multi-edged hob planers in folk. For example, in some areas, manual craftsmen make traditional small wooden utensils, and even The small pieces of furniture and temple buildings are all used. Remember to have seen three types. One is different from European planers, just a planer with a multi-edged line (called a planer or planer), and the other is hardwood (basically, Ebony, rosewood, etc.) in rosewood, the specific style of the structure has not been remembered, the blade is in the middle, the handle is silk or

In other dynasties before the use of planers, hardwood was rarely used to make furniture. Because the most difficult thing is to level, lacquer ware was used more to cover the unevenness of the wooden surface.
