Fig. 85.
In [Fig. 85] is shown the molding plane held in position for work. On the front end of the plane will be found a line, which must be kept vertical when the plane is at work. Finish the beads with sand paper in order to remove all roughness.
Bead and molding plane irons are ground on an emery wheel with a rounded edge.
The sharpening is done with a slip-stone. A slip-stone used for beads and molding planes is wedge-shaped in the cross section, with rounded edges ([see Fig. 86]).
