Splint-plane.

In Fig. 5443, the thickness of the slat is regulated by the spring tongue at the end of the wedge, the tongue being adjusted by a set-screw at the point. The plane is intended for making blind-slats, each one pushing the preceding one out.

See patents No. 52,473. Welsh, February 6, 1866; No. 50,947, Ogborn, November 14, 1865; No. 51,153, Dempsey, November 28, 1865.

Patent No. 52,173, Kleinschmidt and Schlater, January 23, 1866, has a very oblique setting-knife or cutting-bit. Just forward of it is a channel, having the same angle in respect to the plane that the bit has, so that as the shaving is cut by the bit, it is forced out through the channel, which causes it to be twisted around in the form that paper-lighters are made by hand.
