Jlab Export is a leading Spokeshave Flat Face Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
A flat face spokeshave is a short-soled plane with a handle on each side, pushed or pulled along the work to shape curves. The flat sole suits convex curves, straight edges and chamfers. On this spokeshave the cutter has lateral and vertical adjustment, so both the depth of cut and the line of the edge can be set.

Shaping Exercises for Woodwork Students
Woodwork students use a spokeshave to round over a handle, shape the curved edge of a stool seat or form a chamfer along a frame. They cut the rough outline first with Coping Saws and clamp the work low in a Bench Vice. Then they take shavings working downhill with the grain.
A good first exercise is a stopped chamfer along the edges of a square leg, which teaches steady control of the depth of cut. The surface is then finished with a Sanding Block and fine paper. For inside curves, students change to the Spokeshave Round Face, whose curved sole fits into the hollow.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use a flat face rather than a round face spokeshave?
Use the flat face on outside curves, straight edges and chamfers, where the flat sole bridges the work and keeps the cut steady. A round face spokeshave has a curved sole for inside curves, such as the hollow of a curved rail.
Should a spokeshave be pushed or pulled?
Both work. Pushing gives strong control with the thumbs behind the cutter, while pulling suits long strokes toward the body. Either way, the cut should run downhill with the grain so the fibres are sliced rather than lifted and torn.
How are the lateral and vertical adjustments used?
The vertical adjustment sets how far the cutter stands out from the sole, which sets the thickness of the shaving. The lateral adjustment levels the edge across the mouth, so both sides cut the same. Sight along the sole against the light to check.
Why does the spokeshave chatter?
Chatter usually comes from a blunt or loosely clamped cutter, or from too heavy a cut. Sharpen the edge, clamp the cutter tight, set a finer cut and press the sole flat on the work just ahead of the mouth.
How is the short cutter sharpened?
Hold the cutter in a slotted block of wood or a honing guide and rub the bevel flat on an oil stone with light oil. Remove the wire edge from the flat back, then refit the cutter square to the sole.
