Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This replacement blade is designed exclusively for Faithfull flat and round spokeshaves, specifically models FAISSFLAT and FAISSROUND. Ensure your spokeshave is one of these compatible models before purchasing.
Setup:
- Loosen the adjustment screw on your Faithfull spokeshave.
- Carefully remove the old blade.
- Position the new Faithfull Replacement Blade, ensuring it sits correctly within the blade holder.
- Re-tighten the adjustment screw to secure the blade. Adjust the depth of cut as needed.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the blade with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove wood dust and resin. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as this can lead to rust or damage.
- Storage: Store the blade in a dry environment, ideally in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent corrosion and damage. Ensure it is stored separately from other metal tools to avoid accidental scratches.
- Sharpening: While this is a replacement blade, proper care will extend its sharpness. If you notice a decrease in cutting performance, consider professional sharpening or replacement.
