Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the planes, users should ensure the blades are sharpened to a high standard, as factory edges may require honing for specific woods. The brass fittings on the marking gauge should be kept clean and lightly oiled to prevent oxidation. For storage, always keep the tools inside the provided hinged wooden case to prevent rust, which can occur if the steel components are left exposed in humid shop conditions. Periodically check the wooden handles for dryness and apply a light coat of furniture wax or oil if they begin to look dull.
