Video – with Translation
Microscopic View
This phenomenal video of a microscopic view of what happens when a plane blade cuts wood was created by Professor Yasunori Kawai and Honorary Professor Chutaro Kato at Yamagata University, as part of their research in the role of cap irons in planing. This segment shows a plane blade without a cap iron, planing with the grain, then against the grain, and finally taking a thinner shaving against the grain.
“giantcypress.net” seems to be down, but the video is available on vimeo: http://vimeo.com/41372857
Does anyone have a translation?
Thanks for the vimeo link, I posted that. I think Wilbur’s site is back up and he has the translationl
