This is a precision miniature brass plane exclusively designed for stringed instrument crafting and maintenance. Featuring a brass main body and a thumb-plane design with a flat base, it serves as an essential tool for luthiers to handle delicate woodworking tasks with high accuracy.
Core Position & Value
Exclusively engineered for violins, guitars and other stringed instruments, it is ideal for planing and leveling instrument body wood, trimming fingerboard radians, fine planing around sound holes, and sanding bridges. It also suits micro woodworking, model making and other precision processing needs.
It solves the pain point that large woodworking planes cannot handle narrow and curved parts of instruments, delivering precise and delicate planing results for fine wood processing.
Material & Craftsmanship
Solid Brass Plane Body
Crafted from high-density brass with integral machining, it features a well-balanced weight (ensuring stable planing hand feel and anti-slip performance), wear resistance, anti-deformation and rust proofing, maintaining precision even with long-term use. The surface is brushed for a delicate texture and scratch resistance.
Sharpened High-Carbon Steel Plane Blade
The plane blade is made of high-carbon steel, sharpened and polished to a razor edge at the factory for immediate use without secondary grinding. Boasting high hardness and smooth cutting performance, it effortlessly processes hard woods commonly used in instruments such as maple and rosewood, with no chip jamming or edge chipping.
Knurled Adjustment Screw
Equipped with a knurled adjustment screw for labor-saving tightening and loosening, it allows precise micro-adjustment of the blade exposure depth. Adaptable to diverse needs from fine finishing to deep planing, it is easy to master even for beginners.
Design Highlights
Flat Base Structure
The plane base is a precision-ground flat surface, ensuring a smooth and even wood surface after planing. It is particularly suitable for leveling the instrument fingerboard and plane body, preventing radian deviation that may affect the instrument's timbre.
Thumb Plane Shape
With a miniature, palm-sized design, it can be held and operated with one hand, flexibly handling narrow edges, grooves, sound holes and other delicate parts of instruments, and enabling precise operation even in confined spaces.
Detachable Split Structure
The plane body, blade presser and plane blade can be completely disassembled, facilitating chip cleaning, blade replacement and easy maintenance to extend the tool's service life.

Usage & Maintenance Tips
Usage Skills
Select the corresponding model according to processing needs, adjust the blade depth via the knurled screw, and maintain a steady force during planing to avoid blade jamming caused by excessive force.
Maintenance Tips
Clean wood chips from the plane body and blade in a timely manner after use; wipe the brass plane body with a brass polishing cloth regularly to retain its luster. When the blade becomes blunt, sharpen it with an oil stone or replace it with a blade of the same specification.
