Abstract
A plane for use with disposable blades (whose longest dimension is parallel to the cutting edge) has a blade-holding part in which the blade can be released by a quick-release lever from being clamped between a rigid member and a spring-biased sheet metal member, the quick-release lever releasably supporting a bar member which engages a clamping bolt. Depth of cut is controlled by a rotary knob engaging an element intermediate the knob and the blade-holding part to move both the intermediate element and the blade-holding part up and down. Slewing of the lever is achieved by a lever which slides the blade-holding part sideways in its rib-and-groove engagement with the intermediate element.
