small plane typically with a brass body used by luthiers violin and guitar makers mameganna or its literal translation bean plane may be used especially for japanese style planes 1 finger planes are used for final trimming work after glue up particularly around curved edges and to level inlays across curved instrument tops they are thus small in length as they do not need to span a wide area as a jointer plane does they are also narrow in blade width as they are meant for trimming the edges of thin boards or for scrubbing small areas when graduating the thickness of arched soundboards some have flat bases for convex work the more distinctive have curved bases for concave surfaces they are made with soles in a range of curvatures citation needed and a typical workshop will have several of varying curvature as the planes are only used for a narrow task they are not adjustable and they are made with fixed mouths and a blade that is clamped in place by a simple wedge 2 or by a clamp screw not an adjuster to add mass to such a small plane they are commonly cast in a dense brass or bronze alloy luthiers making their own planes typically make them from offcuts of dense tropical hardwoods 3 better source needed wood bodied wedged blade planes can be made fairly quickly using a strong seasoned wood for the body and either a blade for another plane or one reshaped from a chisel blade 1 ibex is a common manufacturer of bronze finger planes they vary in quality and some may need to be re shaped to avoid clogging in use 3 4 gallery edit ibex finger plane 35 mm length with
