Kunz No. 51A Spokeshave, Flat Base.

Description

What a tool! The Spokeshave is a truly wonderful woodworking tool.

This model has two adjusting screws for easy fine adjustment of the blade. It is based on the old Stanley 151A Spokeshave. Essentially a plane with a short sole and handles parallel to the blade, the spokeshave has been in use for centuries. The metal versions have only been in existence for just over 100 years.

It has a flat base, but the short length of the sole enables it to work on convex, flat and slightly concave surfaces.

The difference between a Spokshave and a Draw Knife is the same as the difference between a Plane and a Chisel.
