CAUTION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY TO AVOID DAMAGING THIS TOOL
1. Do not insert the blade bevel up, otherwise the rear brass sole plate will be dislodged when you tap the wedge in.
2.
  The rear brass sole plate is designed to minimise the gap in the sole for better function. However, with the blade correctly inserted bevel down this brass plate prevents the blade protruding more than about 1mm. Similarly to point # 1 above you can damage the rear brass sole plate if the blade extends beyond 1mm when you tap the wedge in.
3.
  If you find your blade is coming loose during use it is most likely that you are pushing down too hard on the wood to make the shave cut. Tapping the wedge harder and harder will not solve this problem and will most likely result in damage to the tool.
4.
   A light series of taps on the wedge will hold down the blade in position.

Please contact HNT Gordon if you are having any problems in this regard.
 


A flat sole spokeshave is used for profiling pieces of wood into a specific shape, such as a spoke. It can also be used to outside curves.

It is quite simple to use and can be comfortably pushed or pulled.

Use the adjacent photos to get the desired hand grip.

CAUTION: You cannot reverse the blade in the shave to use it as a scraper.
