“STRUZHOK”

Wood planers used in school workshops is simple, but it does not deprive one significant drawback: the imperfection of the V-mount glands. If mishandled she tries to slip out of a plane or obliquely to become in the yrs. Besides, it is necessary to learn how to swing a mallet to install it, it will not be adjusted tool.

 

Curious way of modernization of the plane offered the eighth-grader Oleg Kotov and ninth Sasha Kvartskhava, students of the Sochi high school No. 75. Looks like they improved the tool, dubbed “Struzhok” (see figure). The soles of his steel, it cut a cross slit to release the blade and remove chips, as well as drilled and countersink holes for countersunk screws attaching the wooden block.

 

Toe pads traditional — step; the horn and the top of the hole are the same. But the heel of the other, it was replaced with a sloping heel panel, pre-loaded grip.

In the gutter of the heel, between borders, you’ll usually shape a piece of iron, in the middle of it cut a groove for the clamping bolt, and at the end a drilled hole Ø 5 mm, which is pressed on the nut-blank. It screwed an adjusting screw mounted in a special bracket at the top of the chute.
