Straight float

The straight joinery float popular among patternmakers and cabinetmakers of the past has regained popularity among modern hand tool users.

This joinery float is ideal for smoothing wood surfaces, such as the cheeks of tenons or the sides of mortises; anywhere that a flat smooth surface is desired. The float has a broad face which makes it easy to register on a surface, ensuring your workpiece stays flat and helping to avoid round-overs where they are not desired.

The float can be used right out of the case, however a quick sharpening with an extra thin taper file will improve the cut. The float should be sharpened occasionally with use to maintain a keen cutting edge.
