Abstract:
Planing tool includes an elongated frame having a lower planer surface for supporting an elongated planer blade along its entire length. The elongated frame has a relatively fixed downwardly and outwardly beveled flange at the forward end thereof for engagement by one of the blade mounting tabs and a spring latch adjacent the back end for releasably engaging the other mounting tab securely to hold the blade in place during use of the tool. The spring for the latch has a generally inverted U-shape portion which is retained within the hollow of a generally arch shape handle extending upwardly adjacent the rear of the tool frame. A recess or slot is provided in the lower back wall portion of the handle for receipt of the other blade mounting tab and permitting limited rearward movement of the spring latch into locking engagement with such other blade mounting tab. |
