Sealey Spoke Shave Flat Sole 240mm - SSFS1

This spoke shave is suitable for use on most types of wood, both hard and soft. Performance may vary depending on wood density and grain.

The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. For best results, sharpen the blade when you notice a decline in cutting performance or when it produces tear-out.

While it has a flat sole, this spoke shave is primarily designed for convex and concave planing. For flat surfaces, a bench plane would be more appropriate.

The adjustable screws allow you to precisely control the depth of the blade's cut, enabling finer adjustments for different wood types and desired finishes.

Loosen the blade securing nuts, then use the adjustment screws to raise or lower the blade. Ensure the blade is seated evenly and tighten the nuts. Test on scrap wood to achieve the desired cut.

The Sealey SSFS1 Spoke Shave has a nett weight of approximately 0.36kg.

Ensure the blade is sharp and properly seated. Check that the adjustment screws are set evenly and that the sole of the spoke shave is flat and free from debris.

The blade may be dull. Hone the blade to a sharp edge. Also, check the blade depth setting; it may be set too shallow.

Practice controlling the angle and pressure. Ensure the blade is sharp and correctly adjusted for the type of wood and desired finish.

Clean the affected area thoroughly. Hone the blade if necessary. Apply a light coat of machine oil or paste wax to prevent future rust.
